Re: Unable to add rule on Chain with 28 characters.

[Rafael Dreher <dreher@interage.com.br>]

So, that's a BUG.

Why iptbles let me add a chain with 30 characters, if I can't use this chain?

[root@ward] [10:07:54]
[~]#iptables -t nat -N 123456789012345678901234567890

[root@ward] [10:08:05]
[~]#iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j 123456789012345678901234567890
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

Hey, gurus, can anyone help me? :)

Thank's
