It seems like the amanda conntracker/nat module depends on some
earlier code written by the same author to mangle udp packets.
However, that earlier code did not get accepted; see the following
mails on netfilter-devel:

http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2002-August/009012.html
http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2002-September/009371.html
http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2002-August/008916.html

So what you can do is:
- if you need to get this to work quickly, you can apply the patch
  that adds ip_nat_mangle_udp_packet() and recompile. This is more of 
  a quickfix solution, though.
- get in touch with the author of the amanda conntracker/nat module,
  because obviously the patch in p-o-m is of little use to anyone in its
  current state. (I've put him email address in the mail loop)

This is correct.  Harald did not like my implementation, and we came
to an agreement on how to correct it.  Unfortunately, making the
correction has not bubbled to the top of my TODO list (as much as
getting a job has!  :-)

[ Harald, please feel free to correct anything I get wrong here ]

There were two issues.  First, Harald did not like the "multi-mangle"
function that I wrote for UDP.  It was/is at this point an unused
function and a) Harald did not want to bloat the code with an unused
function and b) it would only be used in the rarer of cases and
mulitple calls to the single mangle function would be sufficient.  I
don't necessarily disagree.

The other issue was that my UDP mangle function _always_ calculated a
checksum on the mangled packet, even when it did not have a checksum
prior to mangling.  I have corrected the function to only re-calculate
the checksum when the checksum is 0 (indicated no UDP checksum on the
packet).

Right.  Stay tuned for a patch to directly follow this e-mail with an
updated patch in it.

ip_nat_amanda unresolved symbol

[Jan Srzednicki]

Hello there,

I've just cvsupped new version of netfilter stuff (16/10/2002). I wanted
to try some of the new modules in patch-o-matic, one of which is the
Amanda connection tracking helper. However, this module contains an
unresolved symbol:

find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.19; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_amanda.o
depmod:         ip_nat_mangle_udp_packet

I grepped all kernel sources and netfilter patches -
ip_nat_mangle_udp_packet is not defined anywhere! I looked on the code of
similar function - ip_nat_mangle_tcp_packet(); it is defined and exported
correctly. Yet, ip_nat_mangle_udp_packet() clearly is missing. I use the
"new" nat headers and schemes, if that matters in any way.

Here's the list of patches I have installed:
