Hi, this is a known problem with iptables when you have a 64bit kernel and a 32bit userspace. It is being tracked as #298155. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=298155 I believe that it is reasons like this that the pure64 apprioach is prefered these days. That is available at amd64.debian.org. I also believe there are patched patckages floating about to address this problem, and at the very least there is a patch at the URL above. Unfortunately as I understand it, its a difficult problem to solve without breaking 32bit user-space 32-bit kernel systems, which are common to say the least. I'm closing this bug as its really a duplicate of 298155. Please post to that bug if you want to continue discussion of this issue. I have addid it, Sebastian Filippini, and the recipients of his message to the CC list of this one. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
