TARPIT extension broken

[Carl Michael Skog]

Binary package hint: iptables

A "sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 135 -j TARPIT" gives:
"iptables: No chain/target/match by that name"

Yet, tarpit module seems to exist:
$ ls /lib/iptables/libipt_TARPIT.so
/lib/iptables/libipt_TARPIT.so

Indeed. The kernel support is missing. Assigning accordingly.

The patch to enable this in the kernel can be found in the most recent
patch-o-matic in the TARPIT directory.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.
