Description Davide Ferrari 2004-01-13 13:05:52 UTC

I'm using the rc.firewall sample from IPmasq howto official site ( http://www.e-infomax.com/ipmasq/howto/c-html/firewall-examples.html#RC.FIREWALL-2.4.X ) and, while the script always worked for the task, with 1.2.8-r1 ebuild release, it gives an error with the following command line:

$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE

With 1.2.9 ebuild all works fine instead. But 1.2.8-r1 is marked stable and installed with a default "emerge iptables" as now


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge iptables-1.2.8-r1
2. $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE

Actual Results:  
Masquerading is not enabled 

Expected Results:  
Masquerding should be enabled

You must provide error messages.

Also, I plan to unmask 1.2.9 during the weekend.

1.2.9 is now unmasked
