running vanilla kernel 2.4.27 I noticed last iptables update I started getting this error. It doesn't seem to affect much. As if I run iptables -L the last rule set I fed it seems to be intact. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
you neglected to provide `emerge info` also, please post a log of the whole error message and a dump of your iptables rules
My iptables rules. Chain INPUT (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere localhost tcp dpts:63000:65000 ACCEPT udp -- anywhere localhost udp dpts:63000:65000 Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination From the emerge.log Started emerge on: Aug 23, 2004 21:33:50 *** emerge iptables >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-firewall/iptables-1.2.11-r2 to / === (1 of 1) Cleaning (net-firewall/iptables-1.2.11-r2::/usr/portage/net-firewall/iptables/iptables-1.2.11-r2.ebuild) === (1 of 1) Compiling/Merging (net-firewall/iptables-1.2.11-r2::/usr/portage/net-firewall/iptables/iptables-1.2.11-r2.ebuild) === (1 of 1) Post-Build Cleaning (net-firewall/iptables-1.2.11-r2::/usr/portage/net-firewall/iptables/iptables-1.2.11-r2.ebuild) >>> AUTOCLEAN: net-firewall/iptables --- AUTOCLEAN: Nothing unmerged. ::: completed emerge (1 of 1) net-firewall/iptables-1.2.11-r2 to / *** Finished. Cleaning up... *** exiting successfully. *** terminating. Now basically I get the line 29 error on boot before login when various daemons are starting. After hotplugging eth0 comes up and then iptables after that comes up but then burps that line 29 has an error and iptables-restore fails. So far it doesn't seem to flush the rules I left it with last. So all is well that way. All the same I wondered why I get this error and if it was a 2.6 kernel thing in the scripts again.
