Hi,

this is - of course - not true. I didn't realize that

> iptables -N 123456789012345678yzabcdefgh
> and this works:
> iptables -A FORWARD -j 123456789012345678yzabcdefghij

this happened pretty often while testing.

> set_revision(target->t->u.user.name, target->revision); // iptables.c:2397

What does set_revision really do? Is it still needed?


Thanks,


Bernd
