Hello,

When I  try to use the '-m  multiport' argument of iptables,  I have the
following error message:

# /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --sports \
                 ssh,www,imap2,pop3,domain,https,smtp,auth -m state \
                  --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
getsockopt failed strangely: Invalid argument

According to Patrick McHardy[0], this  error appears because "the 32 bit
compat code  doesn't implement the  SO_GET_REVISION_MATCH/TARGET options
and returned an error" in kernel  version > 2.6.16 and < 2.6.19, a patch
is  available[1]. I built  the kernel  image using  this patch  and this
error doesn't appear anymore.

Regards,
Arnaud Fontaine
