For instance, I log the new not syn packets like so: -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp ! --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m state --state NEW -j LOG --log-prefix "NEW NOT SYN: " -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp ! --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m state --state NEW -j DROP Of course, the LOG rule must come before DROP. The rules are identical except for the jump part (-j). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
