I upgraded my potato system to kernel 2.2.17 and my networking (all networking, not just masquerading) failed with messages in syslog like:
Sep 7 22:55:11 bob kernel: Packet log: output DENY eth0 PROTO=17 192.168.1.1:513 192.168.1.255:513 L=88 S=0x00 I=1 F=0x0000 T=64 (#2) ipchains -L shows: Chain input (policy DENY): target prot opt source destination ports ACCEPT all ------ anywhere anywhere n/a DENY all ----l- localnet/8 anywhere n/a DENY all ----l- anywhere anywhere n/a Chain forward (policy DENY): target prot opt source destination ports DENY all ----l- anywhere anywhere n/a Chain output (policy DENY): target prot opt source destination ports ACCEPT all ------ anywhere anywhere n/a DENY all ----l- anywhere anywhere n/a If I issue the commands: /etc/init.d/ipmasq restart && /etc/init.d/ipmasq-kmod restart networking works correctly and ipchains-L gives the correct information. ipmasq and ipmasq-kmod are run by symlinks in /etc/rcS.d at boot time and dmesg verifies this. Does anyone know why they aren't working until I rerun them later from runlevel 2? I didn't have this problem with 2.2.16. -- Bob Nielsen, N7XY [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bainbridge Island, WA http://www.oz.net/~nielsen
