Updating system to l7-filter-2.3 and net-firewall/iptables-1.3.5-r4 result in this error message in some L7filter iptable rules:

Warning: layer7 regexp contains a control character, $, in hex (\x24).
I recommend that you write this as $ or \$, depending on what you meant.


With L7 filters version 2.0 there was no problem. I run kernel 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 with manually IMQ and ESFQ patches.

What it mean, how I can get off this messages and will a packet matching work correctly even with this mess ? (ie if L7 filter rule do what expected.)

Have you also updated l7-protocols? I would suggest using the lastest version available.

if you upgrade l7filters it is recomended to delete /etc/l7-protocols because gentoo treat it as a regulr config file, thus overvrite only with etc-update.....

Meaning, that you deleted your l7-protocols and then remerged them, I guess. Be sure that you remerge the lastest version of l7-protocols, though.
