Subject: [Problem] Linux 2.4.5-ac17 ipt_unclean 'fixes'

Alan, 

I apologise for having taken so long to write this (I have known about 
this problem since 2.4.5ac17 and have not had a chance to document til 
today) but there seems to be a problem with the ipt_unclean fixes by Rusty 
Russell.  ANY incoming packets from any interface (ppp0 and eth0) are 
marked as 'unclean' with some variation on the following syslog entry:

Jul  8 23:16:04 paranoia kernel: ipt_unclean: TCP option 3 at 37 too long
Jul  8 23:16:05 paranoia kernel: ipt_unclean: TCP option 3 at 37 too long
Jul  8 23:16:16 paranoia kernel: ipt_unclean: TCP option 3 at 37 too long
Jul  8 23:16:18 paranoia kernel: ipt_unclean: TCP option 3 at 37 too long

and thus are blocked by my 'unclean packet dropping' firewall (iptables).

I haven't seen any mention of this on the list, nor have I seen any more 
ipt_unclean patches to address this problem, so here's your heads-up 
(albeit a bit late).

Thanks,

J Troy Piper
