Hallo,
I want to update my firewall from kernel 2.4 to 2.6.
When testing the new system the time patch doesn't work correctly. I have the following problems:
The option --timestart doesn't work. I can set any time for the hour highter then zero and iptables will block them. The timestop option works correctly.
#This works
iptables -A INPUT -m time --timestart 00:00/ --timestop 10:00 --days Thu,Fri -j DROP
#but if I set the timestart to/
iptables -A INPUT -m time --timestart 01:00/ --timestop 10:00 --days Thu,Fri -j DROP
#everything will be blocked
/
The other Problem is the option days: if I set only one day it doesn' t work.
#This will block all
iptables -A INPUT -m time --timestart 00:00/ --timestop 10:00 --days Fri -j DROP/
#This will work
iptables -A INPUT -m time --timestart 00:00/ --timestop 10:00 --days Thu,Fri -j DROP/
Now my question is if the time patch could not work with kernel 2.6 or if I am doing something wrong.
Thanks for help
Michael
