Well, first thought is the usual fear of breaking setups.
But I do agree that this makes sense, we've had a number
of "bugreports" over the years from people how tried to
do filtering in the nat table and didn't realize it only
sees the first packet of a connection.
Not sure - anyone else with an opinion? :)
Instead of the line
+ exit_error(OTHER_PROBLEM, "The nat table is not for filtering");
the next one would probably be little bit more user friendly:
+ fprintf(stderr, "The nat table is not for filtering, next iptables release won't support it at all. Fix your setup.\n");
And in the next release it could be changed to 'exit_error'.
That sounds good, lets do that.
