iptables v1.1.1: Bad mac address `xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'
to the respective iptable line:
$IPT -A INPUT -p tcp -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -d $NET -m mac --mac-source xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx --dport 5900:5901 -j ACCEPT
The idea here is to allow VNC access to my home box with the access filtered by both IP and mac address.
Is there a resolution to this other than a rewrite and recompile of the relevant sections of the iptable code? Or am I stuck? I know this option is tagged by Rusty as experimental still so I would assume that the code is open for feedback ;) The question could be rephrased as: is there any chance of allowing "invalid" mac addresses to be recognized by the --mac-source option of the netfilter code? Running Redhat v7/kernel 2.4.1-ac15.
