It's really not clear for me :) Could you give an example rule of how an destination address could be checked with recent module in an OUTPUT rule for example ? This is my situation ..... i want ALL packets whose destination was matched for the last 60 seconds in a recent list called 'bullshit'. iptables -A OUTPUT -m recent --seconds 60 --name bullshit ??????????????? -j DROP Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Frost" <sfrost@snowman.net> To: "Leonardo Rodrigues ( listas )" <leolistas@solucoesip.net> Cc: "netfilter ML" <netfilter@lists.samba.org> Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 10:33 PM Subject: Re: question on recent module Using the latest versions of ipt_recent you can match against the destination IP address. I know it's not very clear, but you can use --rdest in a 'check' rule too, and it will take the destionation IP address of the packet and look it up in the recent list.
