Thanks- John Yes. The iprange match is an extension, which means that it's preceded by an implicit match against the any address (as if -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 were specified). But I don't think you'd notice the extra overhead. :-) Best regards, Jozsef - E-mail : kadlec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, kadlec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PGP key : http://www.kfki.hu/~kadlec/pgp_public_key.txt Address : KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics H-1525 Budapest 114, POB. 49, Hungary
