Package: iptables
Version: 1.3.6.0debian1-5
I am the author of "arno-iptables-firewall" and somebody filed a bug
against my firewall about it not working properly on Debian/Sparc64.
I've been debugging the problem, but the problem can be isolated to the
iptables binary not accepting a syntax like "iptables .... -m limit
...." -> ie. "iptables -A INPUT -m limit --limit 3/m -j DROP" doesn't
work, where it DOES work on x86 Debian. This could also be a problem
with the limit module, I'm not sure. The latter would (obviously) mean a
kernel bug and not a bug in iptables itself. Note that ie. "iptables -A
INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP" DOES work. And executing
"modprobe -v ipt_limit" also shows no error.

Hopefully someone can clear this matter up....?
Thanks,
Arno
