Hi, I have implemented one particular rule on the input chain. The rule explicitly REJECTs queries on port 113. In my kernel-logs, the access is logged in as a DENY. Here is the rule syntax: ipchains -A input -j REJECT -i eth2 -s any/0 -d 10.23.86.125 -p TCP ! -y the entry in syslog is: Mar 18 18:39:48 pasta kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=6 24.24.63.86:62779 10.23.86.125:113 L=60 S=0x00 I=26383 F=0x4000 T=52 SYN (#11) Why is it logged in as a DENY? Thank you in advance. -- Subba Rao [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pws.prserv.net/truemax/ _______________________________________________ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
