Unable to add rule on Chain with 28 characters.

[Rafael Dreher]

No, that's not the case. I'm still thinking that's a bug.

[root at ward] [10:18:30]
[~]#iptables -t nat -N 123456789012345678901234567890

[root at ward] [10:18:38]
[~]#iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j 1234567890123456789012345678
iptables v1.3.2: Couldn't load target
`1234567890123456789012345678':/usr/local/lib/iptables/libipt_1234567890123456789012345678.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory

Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

[root at ward] [10:18:41]
[~]#

Any idea?

Thank 's
