Re: Arnos firewall script

[Jeff Adams <jadams@hoovers.com>]

I haven't looked at that script in particular, but having just setup an 
iptables firewall on my own U5 recerntly, I'd wager the script has "-m 
limit" lines within.

Unfortunately, it looks like the limit module is broken for the 
ultrasparcs, so you'll need to remove/modify those line to remove the 
reference to the limit module.
