Description Tony Clark 2003-04-29 01:20:18 UTC 
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE doesn't seem to work.  If
I go back to net-firewall/iptables-1.2.7a-r3 then it works ok.  No reboots or
anything just reinstall the pervious stable iptables.
Internal interface is eth0

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge iptables
2. set up normal firewall rules and load modules for masq
3.iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE

Actual Results:  
media root # iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
iptables: Invalid argument

Expected Results:  
media root # iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
media root #

media root # emerge info

Do you still have this problem with the latest stable version?
Comment 2 Tony Clark 2003-06-18 11:22:50 UTC 
Seems ok nowdays.  thanks
Comment 3 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-18 14:54:08 UTC 
Ok, setting this to WONTFIX then?
Comment 4 Tony Clark 2003-06-18 15:35:45 UTC 
yep, it's turned out to be me playing with different kernels and I had /usr/src/linux 
symlinked to a kernel that wasn't the current running one.  Under that condition 
iptables failed to build the masq stuff correctly.  Once it is built it is happy to work with 
any 2.4 flavour kernel it seems.
Comment 5 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-19 22:40:23 UTC 
So, reopening...
Comment 6 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-19 22:41:15 UTC 
... and setting to INVALID. Thanks for investigating further though it worked for you :-)
