Hi,
after upgrading to iptables (kernel 2.4.19-pre1)
i noticed that the counters of iptables are not working correctly
also upgrading to 2.4.19-pre4/7 and pre8 don't fix this problem
:
---
[root@ddx root]# iptables -L -vx
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 16765358 packets, 18446744073708030807 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source
destination
10370665672134623548 11136161423212670306 ACCEPT tcp -- eth0 any
anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ftp-data
18446744073709550910 18446744073709506011 ACCEPT tcp -- eth0 any
anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ftp
18446744073709550907 16690754 ACCEPT tcp -- eth0 any anywhere
anywhere tcp dpt:ssh
---and more of these high counters---
so then iptables -Z (which should clear the counters)
gives the same counters (almost, since there is network traffic)
sometimes it gives me this :
---
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 18446744073692785501 packets, 1463844 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source
destination
8076078401574928068 7310582650496881310 ACCEPT tcp -- eth0 any
anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ftp-data
706 45605 ACCEPT tcp -- eth0 any anywhere
anywhere tcp dpt:ftp
709 18446744073692860862 ACCEPT tcp -- eth0 any anywhere
anywhere tcp dpt:ssh
---
doing some times -Z gives me almos identical values
(sometimes like first dump, sometimes like second)
Any ideas ?
