What do you want to do with this rule? -----Original Message----- From: netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ads nat Sent: 23. december 2003 12:47 To: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: IPTABLES syntax problem. Hi, I am trying to setup IPTABLES rules. I am newbe to this. One of the rule in filter table is ####### -A INPUT -p tcp ! --syn -m state --state NEW -j LOG --log-prefix "New not syn:" ############# I am getting following error : [root@allweb root]# /etc/init.d/iptables restart Flushing all current rules and user defined chains: [ OK ] Clearing all current rules and user defined chains: [ OK ] Applying iptables firewall rules: iptables-restore v1.2.6a: Unknown arg `--syn' Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information. I am using /etc/init.d/iptables restart to apply iptables rules. I think I have used proper syntax "--syn" from Oskar Anderson IPTABLES tutorials. Looking for support.
