Thanks for pointing that out. I am running stable and get this: # ipchains --version ipchains 1.3.4, 19-May-1998 You must be running potato, and that must be one of the differences between version 1.3.4 and 1.3.8 of ipchains, as it doesn't like this either: # ipchains -A input --destination-port 20 -j ACCEPT ipchains: Unknown option `--destination-port' Try `ipchains -h' for more information. However, I think this would be equivalent: # ipchains -A input -d 0/0 20 -j ACCEPT Thanks, Patrick
