 I hope one of you paranoids out there can help me with this.

 Problem:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] iptables -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner root -j ACCEPT
 iptables: Invalid argument

 I'm running iptables v1.2.5 under a 2.4.21 kernel for i686. The
 ipt_owner module exists, and was actually autoloaded.

on my system, this works fine. i'm using redhat's kernel, 2.4.18-17.7.x .

did you:

1. look in /var/log/messages while running this command?

2. strace this command?

if not - shame on you

Shame on me, indeed. So I punished myself a bit...

At some stage I upgraded iptables to 1.3.3, which is the fresh version. 
It looked like it could solve something. It didn't.


To begin with, nothing happens in /var/log/messages. strace gave 
something to bite on, but ltrace got even more specific. It ends with:


4891 setsockopt(3, 0, 64, 0x08057988, 4968)   = -1
4891 free(0x08055058) = void
4891 free(0x08057988) = void
4891 free(0x08058cf8) = void
4891 __errno_location()   = 0x42130b60
4891 strerror(22) = Invalid argument
4891 fprintf(0x4212dc80, iptables: %s\n, Invalid argument) = 27

Aha, I said, let's see who does it. The string setsockopt appears 
twice in the entire iptables source, and I could narrow it down to 
libiptc/libiptc.c, line 2102:


if (setsockopt(sockfd, TC_IPPROTO, SO_SET_REPLACE, repl,
  sizeof(*repl) + repl-size)  0) {
   free(repl-counters);
   free(repl);
   free(newcounters);
   return 0;
   }

This means absolutely nothing to me. The function is called TC_COMMIT, 
and it deals with some counters. Other keywords: Replace, map.


In short, I have still no idea what to do.

Guy, is this enought punishment? Can I go playing now? ;)
