Hi everyone, I am trying to set up a quite complex routing in which the packets from my software are tos marked and should then leave the system via different interfaces based on this marking. I thereby ran into a problem with a route which goes "to unreachable". The returned error code is EPERM instead of ENETUNREACH and I do not understand why. I broke down the setup to a minimum for the mailing list request to ease the discussion. The setup is: ip route shows: default via 10.0.0.1 dev eth0 10.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.0.2 ip rule shows: form all lookup local from all fwmark 0x1 lookup 101 form all lookup main from all lookup default ip route show table 101 shows: unreachable default iptables only one entry and the default behaviour is set to ACCEPT for all tables: iptabltes -t mangle -A OUTPUT -m tos --tos 0x1 -j MARK --set-mark 0x1 In this setup the command: ping -Q 1 8.8.8.8 yields EPERM instead of the expected ENETUNREACH. Does anyone have an explanation for this? The only thing I found in a web search was that EPERM is returned if an OUTPUT rule in the filter table is dropping packets.
