It appears that this is because iptables 1.3.x no longer sorts the hooked chains to the begining of the table. The kernel has no problem with this but old versions of iptables do. Is there any reason iptables-1.3 couldn't be changed so it doesn't crash version 1.2.x, I assume by putting the sort order back as it was ? -- Rob. (Robert de Bath )
