Description Ryan Bradetich 2003-04-08 15:56:09 EDT

Description of problem:

The kernel-smp-2.4.18-e.25 does not have the following kernel configuration item
set: CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_LOCAL.  In the latest update kernel for Red Hat 7.3 (this 
is the only one I have looked at) this option is set to =m, on RedHat 2.1AS for 
ia64 this option is not set.  This affects the usage of iptables for NAT to the 
OUTPUT chain.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-smp-2.4.18-e.25

How reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. On a kernel with # CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_LOCAL is not set do this command:

2. /sbin/iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --dst 1.2.3.4 -p tcp --dport 993 -j DNAT --
to-destination 127.0.0.1:12345

The result is: iptables: Invalid argument.

3. On a kernel with CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_LOCAL=m do the same command.

4. this works.


Additional info:

I have a support contract for RHAS 2.1 on ia64 with Hewlett-Packard also.  The 
Hewlett-Pakcard Response center, my customers, and I figured out the solution to
the problem.  I would like to see this integrated into the official Red Hat 
kernel so I can still utalize this support contract if necessary.
