Package: kernel-image-2.6.9-1-686
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #282195
I've noticed that if I pre-load ip_tables, ipmasq will start and initialize
all rules.
If ip_tables is not loaded, the following code in ipmasq kicks in
(from /etc/ipmasq/rules/A00sanitycheck):
if [ ! -e /proc/net/ip_masquerade -a ! -e /proc/net/ip_tables_names ]; then
if ! /sbin/modprobe -q iptable_nat 2>/dev/null; then
echo "IP Masquerade has not been enabled in the kernel."
exit 1
fi
fi
Once it tries to load iptable_nat explicitly, ipfwadm will be loaded, which
causes the problems.
So my workaround to get ipmasq to run correctly under 2.6.9 has been to
replace iptable_nat by ip_tables in this snippet, like so:
if [ ! -e /proc/net/ip_masquerade -a ! -e /proc/net/ip_tables_names ]; then
if ! /sbin/modprobe -q ip_tables 2>/dev/null; then
echo "IP Masquerade has not been enabled in the kernel."
exit 1
fi
fi
peace,
Jason
