If I try to create a hash:mac set, like this: ipset create MACSFREE hash:mac The console never returns, only if I hit CTRL+C, it works for other types of sets, here is the strace: strace ipset create MACSFREE hash:mac execve("/usr/local/sbin/ipset", ["ipset", "create", "MACSFREE", "hash:mac"], [/* 30 vars */]) = 0 brk(0) = 0x247e000 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f45b83d5000 access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=31216, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 31216, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x7f45b83cd000 close(3) = 0 open("/usr/lib64/libmnl.so.0", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0 \31\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 832) = 832 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=18056, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 2113224, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0x7f45b7fb3000 mprotect(0x7f45b7fb7000, 2093056, PROT_NONE) = 0 mmap(0x7f45b81b6000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0x3000) = 0x7f45b81b6000 close(3) = 0 open("/lib64/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0\340\r\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 832) = 832 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=19536, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 2109696, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0x7f45b7daf000 mprotect(0x7f45b7db1000, 2097152, PROT_NONE) = 0 mmap(0x7f45b7fb1000, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0x2000) = 0x7f45b7fb1000 close(3) = 0 open("/lib64/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "\177ELF\2\1\1\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0p\356\1\0\0\0\0\0"..., 832) = 832 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=1921176, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f45b83cc000 mmap(NULL, 3750152, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0x7f45b7a1b000 mprotect(0x7f45b7ba5000, 2097152, PROT_NONE) = 0 mmap(0x7f45b7da5000, 20480, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0x18a000) = 0x7f45b7da5000 mmap(0x7f45b7daa000, 18696, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f45b7daa000 close(3) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f45b83cb000 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f45b83ca000 arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, 0x7f45b83cb700) = 0 mprotect(0x7f45b7da5000, 16384, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0x7f45b7fb1000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0x7f45b83d6000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 munmap(0x7f45b83cd000, 31216) = 0 brk(0) = 0x247e000 brk(0x24a2000) = 0x24a2000 socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, 12) = 3 bind(3, {sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, 12) = 0 getsockname(3, {sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=42575, groups=00000000}, [12]) = 0 sendto(3, "\34\0\0\0\1\6\1\0\27\214RT\0\0\0\0\2\0\0\0\5\0\1\0\6\0\0\0", 28, 0, {sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, 12) = 28 recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\34\0\0\0\1\6\0\0\27\214RTO\246\0\0\2\0\0\0\5\0\1\0\6\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 256}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 28 sendto(3, "4\0\0\0\r\6\1\0\30\214RT\0\0\0\0\2\0\0\0\5\0\1\0\6\0\0\0\r\0\3\0"..., 52, 0, {sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, 12 -- Att...
