Description Red Hat Bugzilla 2004-08-31 16:28:16 UTC
This was observed on RHEL3 U2 on a HP RX2600 based machine.

When you attempt to use the "limit" module, you get an unresolved
symbol error.

Here is the way I tried to use limit:

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT -m limit --limit 3

The result when starting iptables:

[root@singsing sysconfig]# /etc/init.d/iptables restart
Flushing firewall rules: [  OK  ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [  OK  ]
Unloading iptables modules: [  OK  ]
Applying iptables firewall rules: ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter

iptables-restore v1.2.8: Couldn't load match
`limit':/lib/iptables/libipt_limit.so: undefined symbol: __udivsi3
 
Error occured at line: 12
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more
information.
[FAILED]


This does not seem to be an issue with RHEL4 0830 on Altix.
It also seems to be that if you rebuild the RPM to not use 
shared libraries, the problem goes away.

Same thing here on an IA64.

Comment 4 Red Hat Bugzilla 2007-07-24 15:58:33 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Engineering for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.

Red Hat does not currently plan to provide this change in a Red Hat Enterprise
Linux update release for currently deployed products.

With the goal of minimizing risk of change for deployed systems, and in
response to customer and partner requirements, Red Hat takes a conservative
approach when evaluating enhancements for inclusion in maintenance updates
for currently deployed products. The primary objectives of update releases
are to enable new hardware platform support and to resolve critical
defects.

However, Red Hat will further review this request for potential inclusion
in future major releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
