Comment 1 John Ellson 2005-11-23 17:28:28 UTC 
I can comment out the --icmp-type any line and then start iptables, but then
the host doesn't respond correctly to ping.
Comment 2 Francis Jacobberger 2005-11-24 15:46:28 UTC

I'm effected by this bug as well. Even the Fedora mirror is vacant from the
revised version.

Comment 7 Jim Cornette 2005-11-26 16:26:45 UTC 
iptables-1.3.4-2 works.
Comment 8 Edouard Bourguignon 2008-02-06 15:14:39 UTC 
Sorry but problem seems to be still here with iptables-1.3.8-6.fc9.i386 on F9 alpha.
Comment 9 Thomas Woerner 2008-02-06 15:41:55 UTC 
There have been a problem in system-config-firewall, which generates the rules
for iptables. Pleas update to system-config-firewall-1.2.2-1 from rawhide and
use "lokkit --update" afterwards.
