I got similar problems after I moved to 2.6.17.6 from 2.6.14
I've downloaded latest POM and patched kernel manually
I didn't notice if there were any warnings when building kernel.
I suspect the warnings I got means it's got problems - but I am not a C programmer!
The code in question is the highlighted lines below:
static struct ipt_match connlimit_match = {
.name = "connlimit",
.match = &match, <--
.checkentry = &check, <--
.destroy = &destroy, <--
.me = THIS_MODULE
};
This is what I get when I try to use connlimit match
>
iptables: Unknown error 18446744073709551615
I was getting a very similar error when using iptables 1.3.5. The error changed to
"iptables: Invalid argument" when I used iptables-1.3.5-20060508.
and, finally dmesg tells me:
ip_tables: connlimit match: invalid size 0 != 24
ip_tables: connlimit match: invalid size 0 != 24
I get 'connlimit match: invalid size 0 != 16'
I will email netfilter-devel and see if I can get an answer there. It looks like
no one is maintaining connlimit - last date in the code is 2002!
