Hi, I have a very strange problem with ebtables. I'm using it on CentOS 5 (2.6.18 kernel) and when using the dynamically compiled version (version 2.0.8-2) I can't create a new chain. When using the same version but compiled statically it works. The difference is clearly to see when using a strace : Good behavior (statically compiled) : setsockopt(3, SOL_IP, 0x80 /* IP_??? */, "filter\0\0\0\352tv;\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0008\2\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 312) = 0 exit_group(0) = ? Bad behavior (dynamically compiled) : setsockopt(3, SOL_IP, 0x80 /* IP_??? */, "filter\0\0\0\352tv;\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0e\3\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 312) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) write(2, "The kernel doesn't support a cer"..., 113The kernel doesn't support a certain ebtables extension, consider recompiling your kernel or insmod the extension) = 113 write(2, ".\n", 2. ) = 2 exit_group(-1) = ? For some reason the one version sets different options then the other. I've tried different things (compiling against the standard kernel include files (kernel-devel), compiling against the included include files, using some gcc options, ...). But none of those worked. Any hints are appreciated.
