Package: ulogd Version: 1.24-2.1 Severity: normal
think it would be a helpful addition to the docs to note that only one of the kernel modules for either iptables (ipt_ULOG) or ebtables (ebt_ulog) can be loaded at the same time. Attempts to load the other will result in insmod or modprobe insertion errors: Cannot allocate memory. I have been trying to track down why I couldn't load the ebt_ulog kernel module. I read on kernel.org's list archives that this is the intended behavior. On ulogd startup, ipt_ULOG module gets loaded, making ebt_ulog unavailable. While this will only be useful to those doing bridge firewalling, but it will save a lot of grief. Just having this info in the README.Debian file would seem to be enough: --- README.Debian.old 2010-06-17 21:52:31.000000000 -0400 +++ README.Debian.new 2010-06-17 21:51:00.000000000 -0400 @@ -7,4 +7,10 @@ Don't forget to adapt your /etc/ulogd.conf to those modules.
