Summary: interface spec. - rule parser error
           Product: iptables
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Debian GNU/Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: iptables-restore
        AssignedTo: laforge at netfilter.org
        ReportedBy: jaroslavflidr at acadiaoptronics.com


iptables v1.4.2
nat table (possibly others):
an interface specifications entered in the form of  e.g. '-ieth0'
(without the
space) gets parsed correctly -  i.e. it is recognized as an 'input'
interface
(iptables-restore does not complain about the missing space and parses
'-i'
correctly). However, the interface name appearing in the actual rule (iptables
-L) is a string: '-ieth0' and therefore never being hit.
