Hi all I fully apologize for my previous post, that's a mistake. I apologize this should be adressed to the vahalla-list, but this is an iptables problem, wich is the same for the 8.0 version.
Simple problem: I wish in the same rule, set both the 'LOG' and 'DROP' targets. Either do I must set both same rules, first with a LOG target, second with a DROP target, or may I set the two targets directly in one rule ? Example: Either 1) /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d ${IPADDR} --syn -j LOG /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d ${IPADDR} --syn -j DROP or 2) /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d ${IPADDR} --syn -j LOG DROP Indeed, ${IPADDR} is my IP address, the rules are to be set in a Shell script. ( I need my specific IP adress, which is dynamic, so I can't use the firewall system file /etc/sysconfig/iptables. ) Alternatively, if neither of these works, which is the way for doing this ? Secondary, what is the resulting effect of the "--log-ip-options" parameter of the LOG target, upon the log appearance in /var/log/messages ? Thank you very much for your responses. Best regards.
