RE: Logging default drop

Hi All

I enabled the rule at the end of my INPUT tables,
iptables -A INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix "IN-DEfault-drop "

I then tail my messages file and get a LOT of the following....

Apr  8 20:25:04 firewall kernel: IN-DEfault-drop IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC=
SRC=220.255.12.210 DST=x.x.x.x LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x40 TTL=40 ID=20518
PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=256 SEQ=6625

The SRC address is ofter different.
What does this mean?

Thanks
Stu

Yes.   Add the LOG rule as the last one in the chain.
