From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: After upgrading from RedHat 9, the MASQERADE with IPCHAINS freezes OS when I use it as an internet gateway. This is from memory because I lost what I had typed in the "standard bug form" I put in the approprate commands for forwarding in: /etc/sysconfig/ipchains MASQ and fowarding is properly set. /etc/sysconfig/network GATEWAY eq 192.168.1.1 /etc/sysctl.conf = allow IP 4 forwarding = 1 eth0=connected directly to internet 192.168.1.5 eth1=connected to internal lan and acts as gateway address 10.238.123.45 Just email me for more details. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Made the above config changes under RH9, used it for months without problems (routing was stable), then upgraded to Fedora Core 1 2. Replicated this on another machine with completely different hardware, and got the same results. 3. Actual Results: The system freezes, only a cold reboot works. CTRL / ALT / DELETE does not work. Expected Results: I expected it to route as it did under 7.3, 8.0, and 9.0 RedHat. Additional info: Please email me for more details.
The "ipchains" command, of which this bugzilla module is for, is just the command that sends ipchains rules to the kernel. It does contain any code which can lock up a machine whatsoever. Reassigning to the kernel.
Did this ever get fixed?
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
