Good question! I haven't actually tried lowercase even though the c 
source tells me that it is actually "drop" (and so does the man 
page).... Just quickly tested it - the value of the "--test" parameter 
is not case sensitive, but accepts only "drop", "reject" or "accept" as 
values, naturally!

It is also worth noting that "mixing" of type and action should not be 
allowed (this is something shorewall internally needs to resolve), i.e.

-N ADROP
-A ADROP -j AUDIT --type accept
-A ADROP -j DROP

should not be allowed - the action (DROP) should match the AUDIT 
"--type" value (accept).

It would be nice if you could distinguish between the various jump 
targets, in other words - "DROP" is "standard" drop, but you could call 
the new audit drop ADROP for example. Similar with ACCEPT (which logs 
all ACCEPTed matches) and REJECT targets.

I am more than willing to test this and give you a hand if needed, not 
least because if I manage to implement this feature throughout my entire 
audispd/auditd system I will be saving myself a *lot* of hassle - the 
main reason why I am so eager and can't afford to wait until the .39 
kernel comes out.
