To test rebuilded package, you may use my repository (ver 1.2.8-12.3.ker.rhel3): ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/people/milan_kerslager/RHEL-3/stable/iptables-* ftp://ftp.pslib.cz/pub/users/Milan.Kerslager/RHEL-3/stable/iptables-*
Doh. You have to cut "iptables-*" from the URLs above. Sorry.
As of posting to the Taroon list, this version is broken when trying to save iptables rules with rule with recent module: https://www.redhat.com/archives/taroon-list/2006-January/msg00121.html I'm using newer version from RHEL4 (rebuilded for RHEL3) to support ipt_connlimit and it seems to work good for longer time. The saving rules works too. So I replaced iptables in my stable repository (to iptables-1.2.11-3.1.1.ker.rhel3): ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/people/milan_kerslager/RHEL-3/stable/ ftp://ftp.pslib.cz/pub/users/Milan.Kerslager/RHEL-3/stable/
any chance of this making RHEL3 U9 ?
Hallo Uwe, ich schliesse dieses, da RHEL3 geschlossen wurde und dieses nicht augenommen wurde. Daher macht es keinen Sinn dieses Issue offen zu lassen.
