iptables: Unknown error 4294967295

[zinc]

After compiling and patching the 2.6.27.10 kernel with grsec, I'm having some issues with iptables.

When applying a rule to iptables I'm getting:
iptables: Unknown error 4294967295

However when I revert back to the old kernel (2.6.18), iptables functions normally. I'm not sure whats causing this on the grsec patched kernel?

Thanks in advanced :)

It seems this is not grsecurity problem

Netfilter is very changed between 2.6.18<->2.6.27.10. / once too often it seems /

[zinc]

Hmm so its not a config error or anything with the kernel? Still stumped, anyone else got any ideas on how I can get this resolved?

Think you should update iptables.

The version doesn't work with your kernel.

4294967295 = -1

How would I upgrade iptables ?

Execute these commands in the new version's source directory?
make KERNEL_DIR=<<grsec-kernel-path>>
make install KERNEL_DIR=<<grsec-kernel-path>>

Then just boot into the grsec kernel and the new iptables version should be there?
