Is it a bug? Probably a very _classic_ bug. Because CentOS uses such outdated software (kernel 2.6.18 iptables 1.3.5), anything can happen. I'm not completely sure, but I think 64-bit issues were not completely addressed until at least 2.6.20. So yeah with RHEL/CentOS you easily have problems.. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
