Can't set output policy to ACCEPT_NO_TRACK

[Andi Hechtbauer]

Binary package hint: ufw

In the documentation and in /etc/default/ufw comments of ufw 0.30.1-1ubuntu1 (11.04) a default policy that does not do connection tracking is advertised, ACCEPT_NO_TRACK.

When this is used sudo ufw enable results in "ERROR: problem running ufw-init"

Digging into this (using sudo /lib/ufw/ufw-init force-reload), some more output can be seen, maybe pointing in the direction of a bug:

iptables-restore v1.4.10: Can't set policy `OUTPUT' on `ACCEPT_NO_TRACK' line 5: Bad policy name

iptables-restore v1.4.10: Couldn't load target `ACCEPT_NO_TRACK':/lib/xtables/libipt_ACCEPT_NO_TRACK.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is fixed in trunk by removing the option (it never worked).

This bug was fixed in the package ufw - 0.33-0ubuntu1
