From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19-7.0.1 i686) Description of problem: iptable-restore is not able to restore rulesets written with iptables-save if there is a rule without a jump target. (rules to count traffic for example) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. iptables -I FORWARD 1 2. iptables-save > iptables 3. iptables-restore < iptables Actual Results: iptables-restore v1.2.2: Unknown arg `-j' Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information. Additional info: the problem is, that iptables-save writes the following line: -A FORWARD -j instead of this one: -A FORWARD which actually works with iptables-restore.
Verified; problem still exists in the current version
i just checked out that this bug is resolved in the cvs version of netfilter
Fix from CVS backported in 1.2.2-3
