ipt_time time match invalid size

ipt_time time match invalid size

[Joe Giles]

Hello again,

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with the P-O-M and the time 
module.

Now, after installing the proper modules and running the following iptables 
command:
IPTABLES = path to iptables
$IPTABLES -A INPUT  -s 192.168.15.131 -m time  --timestart 17:05  --timestop 
17:20  --days Wed -j RULE_2
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD  -s 192.168.15.131 -m time  --timestart 17:05  --timestop 
17:20  --days Wed -j RULE_2

(This was just a test script to see how it worked)

It doesn't work and I get this error executing the command from within my 
script:

iptables: Unknown error 4294967295
iptables: Unknown error 4294967295

And, I get this output in dmesg:

ip_tables: time match: invalid size 0 != 16
ip_tables: time match: invalid size 0 != 16


I used the 20060706 of p-o-m-ng and am using the 2.6.17.8 kernel. The 20060706 
version of p-o-m is the latest with the time module in it and it compiles 
just fine with the kernel.

Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

Thanks!!!

Joe

Did you also recompile iptables?

Thanks for the reply...

I found out that there was some API changes in the 2.6.17 kernel that prevent 
it from working properly. I downgraded to a 2.6.15 kernel and it is working 
as planned.

Thanks for the reply... I will wait for the maintainers to update via p-o-m at 
a later date...
