The verion on my firewall (v1.2.6a) has the flag -C "--check -C chain Test this packet on chain" but it isn't implemented: # iptables -C INPUT -s 192.168.7.33 -d 173.99.1.21 -p tcp -i eth0 "iptables: Will be implemented real soon. I promise ;)" Gruß Jörg -- Jörg Schütter http://www.lug-untermain.de/ joerg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.schuetter.org/joerg/ ICQ: 298982789 http://mypenguin.bei.t-online.de/
