Ever since I upgraded my firewall to 7.1, logging seems to be acting spurious. The ppp chat scripts no longer log to syslog and nmap -O comes back with the following message: FATAL: Unknown datalink type (12). Caplen: 0; Packet: I can run nmap from behind the firewall which would suggest a problem with ipchains as implemented by 7.1 versus iptables. I can run nmap against the interfaces on the firewall (ppp0,eth0,eth1). The ipchains rules worked under 7.0 as did nmap and ppp logging. I am on the RedHat ppp list before anyone mentions it. I also have debug and persist in my pppoptions and chat -v is in the if(ppp) scripts. The ipchains mailling list is defunct, so let's not start out by suggesting I go there or switch to iptables, ok? There are some current problems with iptables that suggest a kernel upgrade to 2.4.6 and a newer version of iptables. I am not going to do this to fix a problem that may be fixed. If I revert it will go away. I have my choices between the kernel (errata 2.4.3-12), syslog/ppp/ipchains causing these problems. Turning off ipchains does not fix the problem. The clue I mainly need is does anyone know what the unkown datalink type message might be. I have posted to nmap-hackers as well but no answer yet. Regards, Henri J.
