LinuxQuestions.org - incomplete iptables implemented in android jellybean 4.1.1?

Hi,

We wanted to redirect traffic in our android device (rooted) to another host(the device is a manufactured screen so there are no brand names). To do it, we have the following command below.

Code:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination*74.54.111.227:80

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp --dport 8080 -j MASQUERADE

The problem however is that the iptables is giving this error

Code:

"protoent* getprotobynumber(int)(3) is not implemented"

.
It seems that there is a missing kernel module or unimplemented function.

My idea now is that I would have to recompile the android kernel with the option

Code:

"CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_OWNER=m "

to make this work. I am not sure though if that is the right approach to enable the missing module in iptables, I am worried I may ruin the device.

Hopefully someone can help me how to solve the*

Code:

"protoent* getprotobynumber(int)(3) is not implemented"

, or maybe there is a different way to go?

Thank you!
