Hi,
iptables seems to have a hard-coded 30 character limit for chain
names, making constructions like
@def &logreject($filename,$logprefix) = @subchain "lr--$filename--$logprefix" {
hard to implement. When one tries to load this rule set into the
kernel, a rather nondescript "invalid argument" error occurs. When I
try to iptables --new-chain with a very long name, I get a meaningful
error message.
Would it be possible for ferm to catch long chain names itself and
give a clear error message?
Greetings
Marc
