It would have not likely helped me, Jidanni, as I just use cookie cutter recipes, and all I know is I need to update this recipe I got from somewhere, iptables -F; iptables -X; iptables -N b iptables -A b -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A b -m state --state NEW ! -i ppp0 -j ACCEPT iptables -A b -j LOG -m limit; iptables -A b -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -j b; iptables -A FORWARD -j b so it stops causing warning messages. Or, the iptables man page needs to mention the additional steps one needs to do when using certain keywords, or else there is a clear bug in the man page: you use what it offers, and you end up getting error messages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
