Description Per Steinar Iversen 2001-12-10 15:30:08 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120

Description of problem:
Not all IPv6 extentions are compiled in.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use certain options in iptables for IPv6
2.Does not work, the extentions are not installed byu default

	

Actual Results:  Gets errors about extentions missing, sample:
ip6tables v1.2.4: Couldn't load target `LOG'/lib/iptables/libip6t_LOG.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Expected Results:  Logging should work for IPv6 too.

Additional info:

A simple patch adds at least some of the missing IPv6 extentions:

Note that kernel does not support agr or REJECT yet (the rest were added around 2.4.14 or so IIRC), 
enabling the rest would be niiice :-)
