grsecurity forums

Hello,


im running a i386-box with a 2.4.20 kernel and the
grsecurity-1.9.9e-2.4.20.patch. I got the problem that iptable commands
with the owner-match doesn't work.

> # iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner 8 --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
> iptables: Invalid argument

Maybe anyone has an idea what's going wrong?

Greetings, Michael

I also had this problem with the default iptables shipped with redhat 8 (iptables v1.2.6a).

A quick upgrade to a clean iptables v1.2.7a from netfilter.org has fixed the problem.
