Two things come to mind: - the iptables filtering HOWTO only lists a "limit" match - you should specify the chain before anything else and the matching rules last as a block. Try: iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 23 -j DROP -m iplimit --iplimit-above 3 As I see it, iptables parses the command parameters in a nontrivial order. see the manpage for further info. -- Embedded Linux -- True multitasking!
