Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] IPTables NAT module broken in DL 1.2 ?

[Stefan E. <ste...@av...>]

Hi,

the problem is located in the pptp-conntrack-nat support code.
Somewhere on the mailing list are some other mails regarding this
problem. Until a new version of this patch can be found it
is going to break nat support.

If you don't need pptp-conntrack-nat support then go to
built/scripts/config and edit the file patch-o-matic.exclude. Locate
a line with

#extra/pptp-conntrack-nat

in it and remove the leading '#' to tell the patch-o-matic build
script to ignore pptp-conntrack-nat support during build.

At least this fixed the nat support for me ;-)

Regards,
Stefan
