arptables ruleset not working when compiling on fedora6,7,8/centos 5/redhat 5

arptables ruleset not working when compiling on fedora6,7,8/centos 5/redhat 5

[Nishit Shah]

Hi,
         I am compiling arptables-v0.0.3-3/arptables-v0.0.3-2 on
fedora6,7,8/centos 5/redhat 5. Module is compiled successfully.
Following are the simple steps.

        make
        make install

        Now, I am applying following rules,

        arptables -N user1
        arptables -N user2
        arptables -N user3

        arptables -A INPUT -j user1
        arptables -A INPUT -j user2
        arptables -A INPUT -j user3

       when I am doing arptables -nvx -L, I am getting packet counts
on only "arptables -A INPUT -j user1", no packet counts on user2 and
user3 chains. If I remove the user1 chain, I am getting packet counts
on user2 chain, not on user3 chain. It means only the first user
defined chain is traversing.

       all above machine contains gcc >= 4.1.2 and glibc >= 2.5

       If i compile the same source with machine having gcc 2.96 and
glibc 2.2.4 things are working properly on the above machines.
       Is it something related to gcc and/or glibc ? as I am not
seeing any issues with kernel space arptables code.

Rgds,
Nishit Shah.

I might be missing something obvious but all three rules are identical
so traffic is going to hit the first rule and go down to user1 chain.


Your user chains don't have any actions associated so looks to me like
it enter the chain, nothing will happen - including not returning to
the input chain so the other rules aren't being hit.

If user chain doesn't have any actions associated, action is
ARPT_CONTINUE. So, the packet will traverse the next rule in INPUT
(that is arptables -A -j user2) and so on. (That is the behavior I am
getting when compiled with gcc 2.96 and glibc 2.2.4)

Ah, I remember, we had some breakage with of the ARPT codes with the
introduction of x_tables in 2.6.16. Please try to figure out the
difference of those values between working and non-working state
(ARPT_CONTINUE, ARPT_RETURN etc.)

Bingo !!!

It is due to the value of ARPT_RETURN. ARPT_RETURN defined in
arptables-v0.0.3-3 is

./include/linux/netfilter_arp/arp_tables.h:#define ARPT_RETURN
(-NF_MAX_VERDICT - 1)

and value of NF_MAX_VERDICT is different on machine running with gcc
2.96/glibc 2.2.4 and above all machines.

value of NF_MAX_VERDICT on machine running gcc 2.96 and glibc 2.2.4,

        /usr/include/linux/netfilter.h:#define NF_MAX_VERDICT NF_REPEAT

and same file on all above machines,

        /usr/include/linux/netfilter.h:#define NF_MAX_VERDICT NF_STOP

Thanks Patrick :)

There is also a rogue arptables_jf clone by some RedHat person —
no homepage, no point of download except distro .src.rpms —
and used by Fedora and openSUSE.

Ccing the relevant persons responsible for that clone, which I am also 
hereby accusing of failing to submit their stuff upstream causing 
unnecessary extra hurdles for users.

Thanks for pointing this out. Jay, please elaborate on why you've
chosen to fork this instead of working with upstream.

I'm not sure when that code was created but I don't think it was a fork. 
I have no idea why they didn't mention this to the netfilter team, it 
would have spared me the trouble. I received a mail from someone at 
RedHat about their tool on 20/10/2003 and I pointed out the sourceforge 
project ebtables where it's maintained. I didn't know they were still 
using their own version...

cheers,
Bart

Nishit, please try the attached file. It uses more recent kernel headers

You need to use the unifdef'ed headers or funny things like
compiler complaining about __user might pop up.

The tarball I sent compiled fine on my (old) system. Does it give such

You bet. iptables was also cursed by this [our own lack of using
unifdefed headers from the start] before:
