HI All - I created a /etc/firewalld/direct.xml file and put in it : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <direct> <chain ipv="ipv4" table="raw" chain="blacklist"/> <rule ipv="ipv4" table="raw" chain="PREROUTING" priority="0">-s 192.168.1.8 -j blacklist</rule> </direct> I rebooted, so then from the 192.168.1.8 machine I tried to ping the machine. I responds. I was expecting it not to respond? What do I not have right with the direct.xml file ? Thanks Jerry _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
