Hello,
When I try to use the '-m multiport' argument of iptables, I have the
following error message:
# /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --sports \
ssh,www,imap2,pop3,domain,https,smtp,auth -m state \
--state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
getsockopt failed strangely: Invalid argument
According to Patrick McHardy[0], this error appears because "the 32 bit
compat code doesn't implement the SO_GET_REVISION_MATCH/TARGET options
and returned an error" in kernel version > 2.6.16 and < 2.6.19, a patch
is available[1]. I built the kernel image using this patch and this
error doesn't appear anymore.
Regards,
Arnaud Fontaine

patch merged upstream thus closing, maybe backport candidate.
