Description of problem: I get a failure to load and an error from ip6tables during bootup without any changes to it from the installed configuration How reproducible: Every time I boot, of course I only installed once. I am doing a network install. Here is a rerun for the load script so you can see the error. Interestingly enough the boot.log is blank. [root@goldenchild log]# /etc/init.d/ip6tables restart ip6tables: Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ] ip6tables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ] ip6tables: Unloading modules: [ OK ] ip6tables: Applying firewall rules: ip6tables-restore v1.3.8: Unknown arg `--icmp-type' Error occurred at line: 8 Try `ip6tables-restore -h' or 'ip6tables-restore --help' for more information. [FAILED] [root@goldenchild log]#
Here is the ip6 tables # Firewall configuration written by system-config-firewall # Manual customization of this file is not recommended. *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp6-adm-prohibited -A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp6-adm-prohibited COMMIT
Created attachment 295259 [details] Here is the ip6tables config
If it helps any I am not actually using ip6, and would normally not have worried about this, but we are testing this stuff right now. I have several interfaces in this machine all ethernet. Only eth0 is in use for ip4 and is dchp configed.
