Does someone knows why is ip6tables showing this error:
# ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -j HL --hl-inc 1
ip6tables v1.3.5: HL: increasing by 0?
If I use the hl-set with 2 as argument for instance:
# ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -p icmpv6 --icmpv6-type
router-advertisement -j HL --hl-set 2
# ipt6tables -t mangle -L
(...)
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
HL ipv6-icmp anywhere anywhere
ipv6-icmp router-advertisement HL set to 0
See that the value read is always interpreted as "zero", in
libip6t_HL.c we have:
if (value == 0)
{
exit_error(PARAMETER_PROBLEM,"HL: increasing by 0?");
}
So the problem is only thrown when the value is zero, the question is,
why is ip6tables reading the argument as zero ?
Does someone knows if this is a known bug ?
Details:
Kernel 2.6.17, powerpc
ip6tables v1.3.5
Thank you !
