part of the integration problem. I have implimented a new LOGFORMAT

<para>The RedHat iptables RPM is compiled with debugging enabled but the

user-space debugging code was not updated to reflect recent changes in the

Netfilter <quote>mangle</quote> table. You can correct the problem by

installing <ulink

|
|
iptables RPM</ulink>. If you are already running a 1.2.5 version of

iptables, you will need to specify the --oldpackage option to rpm (e.g.,

|
<quote>iptables -Uvh --oldpackage

iptables-1.2.5-1.i386.rpm</quote>).</para>

<title>Problems with iptables version 1.2.7 and MULTIPORT=Yes</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The iptables 1.2.7 release of iptables has made an incompatible
|
|
change to the syntax used to specify multiport match rules; as a
|
|
consequence, if you install iptables 1.2.7 you must be running Shorewall
|
|
1.3.7a or later or:</para>

<title>Problems with RH Kernel 2.4.18-10 and NAT</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>/etc/shorewall/nat entries of the following form will result in
|
|
Shorewall being unable to start:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting> #EXTERNAL INTERFACE INTERNAL ALL INTERFACES LOCAL
|
|
192.0.2.22 eth0 192.168.9.22 yes yes

#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>

<programlisting> Setting up NAT...
|

iptables: Invalid argument

|
|
|
|
<para>The solution is to put <quote>no</quote> in the LOCAL column. Kernel
|
|
support for LOCAL=yes has never worked properly and 2.4.18-10 has disabled
|
|
it. The 2.4.19 kernel contains corrected support under a new kernel
|
|
configuraiton option; see <ulink

<title>Problems with RH Kernels after 2.4.20-9 and REJECT (also applies to
|
|
2.4.21-RC1)</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Beginning with errata kernel 2.4.20-13.9, <quote>REJECT
|
|
--reject-with tcp-reset</quote> is broken. The symptom most commonly seen
|
|
is that REJECT rules act just like DROP rules when dealing with TCP. A
|
|
kernel patch and precompiled modules to fix this problem are available at
|
