[K12OSN] Weird LTSP Boot error

Hello,

I hope everyone is doing well.

Just when I thought most of my issues were resolved, I see this
[FAILED] message show up while I was rebooting the server  ( I was
able to replicate the message via webmin reapplying the iptable rules)

Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: mangle nat filter [  OK  ]
Unloading iptables modules: [  OK  ]
Applying iptables firewall rules: iptables-restore v1.3.5: interface
name `eth2_LTSP_Church' must be shorter than IFNAMSIZ (15)
Error occurred at line: 11
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.

I tried using Google to find out more about this error, but it gave me
nothing but the code that generates it.  iptables-restore --help also
gives nothing.

The two interfaces' names were:
eth0_LTSP_School
eth1_Internet_Nic
eth2_LTSP_Church

But when I saw that message I changed eth0 and eth2 to:

eth0LTSPSchool
eth2LTSPChurch

To make them shorter and restarted but that made no difference.

What should I do?

Thank you!

Joseph
