Thank you for your reply.
Hi Maurice. Didn't you report this bug already to bugzilla.netfilter.org (and maybe eben to the bugme.osdl.org)? Reporting a bug in three distinct places, even though it has been replied to at one place is not really going to use developer resources efficiently, don't you think?
Sorry, to post it multiple times. Actually, two places netfilter and then kernel bugzilla. I made the second report after it appeared there'd would be no feedback to the first one and another kernel revision had been issued with the problem still evident. (The first feedback on the netfilter report crossed in the mail with the kernel report.)
However, your problem seems to be something different. I suspect that all rules with '-p tcp' or '-p udp' don't work, whereas others do. You seem to be missing the xt_tcpudp.ko module, which implements that feature in 2.6.17-rcX kernels.
Yep, that's it. How could one know that there is such a module called xt_tcpudp.ko, especially since there is no corresponding config option? Wouldn't up-to-date and complete documentation explain how to set up the kernel config and indicate which modules should be loaded?
On the other hand, shouldn't this module be loading automatically? -- Maurice Volaski, mvolaski@xxxxxxxxxxxx Computing Support, Rose F. Kennedy Center Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University
