Unable to add rule on Chain with 30 characters.

[Rafael Dreher]

Hi,

I'm trying do add a rule on a user-defined chain, on the NAT table, with exactly 30 characters.

The chain have bee added without any problem, but when I add the rule, iptables says that it's unable do find the chain.

See bellow:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[root at ward] [16:55:58]
[~]#iptables -t nat -N ecommerce-internet at POSTROUTING

[root at ward] [16:56:01]
[~]#iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j ecommerce-internet at POSTROUTING
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

[root at ward] [16:56:19]
[~]#iptables -t nat -N 123456789012345678901234567890

[root at ward] [17:04:15]
[~]#iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j 123456789012345678901234567890
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

[root at ward] [17:04:23]
[~]#

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I reduce the chain to 28 characters, it works. I'm trying to migrate a set of rules form iptables-1.2.11 to 1.3.1,
and I don't want to rewrite the rules.

Someone can help me?

My iptables version: 1.3.1
My kernel version: 2.4.31
