OK - That one did it! Got a meaningful error message, and realised that
somehow I had not built the CONNMARK module ;-) .
Now, the next error, when I try to load a geoip match:
/usr/local/sbin/iptables -t mangle -A INPUT -m geoip --dst-cc ZA -j ACCEPT
I get:
iptables: Invalid argument
with the following in dmesg:
ip_tables: geoip match: invalid size 0 != 96
It seems like some critical piece of geoip /xt_tables integration is not
in place... Is my analysis correct? If so, is there a porting document
somewhere covering the iptables updates since geoip last worked?
Thanks,
Justin

Hi Justin,
Should be fixed in current Netfilter. This was a bug.

Hi again.
I was wondering if anybody could help me. I am using kernel 2.6.17.8
with iptables 1.3.5, and I get the following error:
iptables: Unknown error 4294967295
for this command:
/usr/local/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -j CONNMARK --save-mark
I see a large number of hits for the error message on google, mainly
related to iptables 1.3.5, but I have not seen one thread with a
conclusive solution.
Could anybody please give me some pointers on where to start looking? Is
this an iptables bug, if so, what is the last good version. If not,
what else can I look for?
Thanks,
Justin
