iptables v1.3.7: Unknown arg `--set-mark'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

hi,

anybody knows why i cant use --set-mark ?

i searched for missing kernel module , i have not found ipt_mark , but what packet do i need to install ??

thx
Simon

Before you use the --set-mark option, you have to load the "mark" module:

iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -p udp -j MARK -m mark --set-mark 4

You can found it in the kmod-ipt-iptopt package.

sorry , this answer is not correct for kamikaze 7.09 ... still --set-mark is not recognized

Install the iptables-mod-ipopt package which autotomatically installs kmod-ipt-iptopt as a dependency.

Just tried it in trunk and it works, kmod-ipt-iptopt has the files

hmmm ... hows the correct kernel module named ? ipt_mark.ko ?

xt_mark.ko

is inserted and can be seen with lsmod

but this:
iptables -t mangle -I FORWARD -p tcp -j MARK --set-mark 1

is not workin anymore

I just tried  iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -d 203.202.158.128/32  -j MARK --set-mark 0x90 and it work for me

try lsmod | grep -i mark

there should be some modules with mark in their name loaded

also iptables -v should give you 1.3.8

Kamikaze 7.09 uses Iptables 1.3.7. Trunk uses 1.3.8.

lsmod | grep -i mark

root@OpenWrt:/lib/modules/2.6.22# lsmod | grep -i mark
xt_MARK                  960  0
xt_mark                  640  0

iptables v1.3.7: Unknown arg `--set-mark'

hmmmm whats goin on here ?

anyone can help me here ?

Why not try -j CONNMARK ?

is the oldstyle mark not "okay" anymore ?

what it return if you do

iptables -j MARK -h

?

the whole iptables help returns

SirDodger.... at the end you should see

  --set-counters PKTS BYTES     set the counter during insert/append
[!] --version   -V              print package version.

MARK target v1.3.8 options:
  --set-mark value                   Set nfmark value
  --and-mark value                   Binary AND the nfmark with value
  --or-mark  value                   Binary OR  the nfmark with value

wyn:/home/acidfu/pic#

I was suggesting as a work around

and this is telling me ?

I want to se what  :` iptables -j MARK -h ` return to _you_

could you past me that ? thank you

  --modprobe=<command>          try to insert modules using this command

1-  you dont have libipt_MARK.so, that's why it doesn't work and return you:  iptables v1.3.7: Unknown arg `--set-mark'
2- there is a bug in iptables because you should get an error when you do : iptables -j MARK -h (module not found...)

the only way I know to add  this module, is by recompiling your kernel and iptables.

just by curiosity, could you tell me what return :  ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/
