Subject: how can 'iptables -D ...' get EAGAIN?
Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2002 14:48:12 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021220144812.B16450@cscoms.net> (raw)

Hello,

On a server that has a very dynamic set of iptables  rules  (used  for
traffic accounting), I occasionally see a  'iptables  -D ...'  command
in the session start or session end scripts return:

iptables: Resource temporarily unavailable

I've checked the source  code  for  any  occurance  of  EAGAIN  (which
matches this message) but there isn't any.

Can someone explain in which case iptables would get a EAGAIN error?

This  is  a -D (delete rule) command, not -L, so I don't think that it
can be DNS-related, can it?

Thanks in advance for any hint,
Greets,
_Alain_
