Subject: ERROR target in /proc/net/ip_tables_targets
Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 05:28:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031127042854.GE1084@eychenne.org> (raw)

 Hi,

Yet another thing to be patched that would probably take more time
being added to TODO list than being done. ;-)

# cat /proc/net/ip_tables_targets
REJECT
TCPMSS
LOG
MASQUERADE
TOS
DNAT
SNAT

ERROR
#

Hmmm... well, "\nERROR\n" seems to be an intruder, don't you think?
I looked at the code, and this ERROR target seems to be a marker for
the beginning of user-chains... but you will agree with me that this
implementation detail has absolutely nothing to do in a target listing
publicly available to userspace.
I would have been happy to write a small patch to fix this, but as I
cannot really explain the presence of the preceding '\n' after a quick
look, I prefer to leave that "removal" to more experienced people.
Thanks in advance.

 Herve
