I would like to disclude a /25 from accessing a server except for 1 ip address on that /25 this is what I have in my rules. /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 10.1.0.0/25 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 10.1.0.52/32 -j ACCEPT the blocking works, the 10.1.0.0/25 network cannot reach this server, however the 10.1.0.52/32 cant either. I have one other question, this skeleton script I downloaded has these: /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 5.0.0.0/8 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 10.0.0.0/8 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 23.0.0.0/8 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 27.0.0.0/8 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 31.0.0.0/8 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 68.0.0.0/6 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 72.0.0.0/5 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 80.0.0.0/4 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 96.0.0.0/3 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 127.0.0.0/8 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 128.0.0.0/16 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 128.66.0.0/16 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 169.254.0.0/16 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 172.16.0.0/12 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 191.255.0.0/16 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 192.0.0.0/16 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 197.0.0.0/8 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 201.0.0.0/8 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 204.152.64.0/23 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 224.0.0.0/3 -j DUMP /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 240.0.0.0/8 -j DUMP listed as unroutable, or private ip addresses but I know some of these are actually being used on the net, NOW months after the skeleton was written, anyone know or know how to find out which ones I should remove? Thanks for any advice. -Drew
