Re: possible bug in call to libipt_state

Hey.

The reason might be that there is something like "---state" (note 3 - instead of normal 2). You should start looking from /etc/init.d/iptables (or firewall or something similar). A quick workaround could be to create a symbolic link for libipt_-state.so (ln -sf libipt_state.so /lib64/iptables/libipt_-state.so) if it's something that needs to be fixed now and the cause remains unclear (which I doubt).

Hi,

On FC8, kernel 2.6.24.3-50.fc8 (and earlier, actually), iptables v1.3.8, I am receiving the following error when trying to load rules from a shell script:

Couldn't load match '-state':/lib64/iptables/libipt_-state.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In fact, there is no such file or directory, because the call is being incorrectly made to 'libipt_-state.so', instead of 'libipt_state.so':

# ls -la /lib64/iptables | grep state
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  6888 2007-11-05 12:08 libip6t_state.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  6888 2007-11-05 12:08 libipt_state.so

I am not at all certain whether this is a problem in the Fedora iptables package, the kernel, or iptables itself. If anyone could help me locate the source of the call, and could also confirm that this really is a bug, I'll happily report it!

Thanks,
Steven Stromer
