my only suggestion is that when a '!' is used in bash or any shell you must prefix it like this : \! so it would be iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit \! --connlimit-above 2 -j ACCEPT or enclosed with quotes " and " good luck, joe riley --- Null Device <nulldevice83@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: helloo list, i was just working with iptables and connlimit and facing a little bit of problem i hope u peep can help me out very well. pls have a look on the command that i executed after fresh installation of iptables from rpm. [root@MDK10 firewall]# iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit ! --connlimit-above 2 -j ACCEPT iptables: No chain/target/match by that name. but have a look at this toooo [root@MDK10 firewall]# iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit -j ACCEPT iptables v1.2.9: You must specify `--connlimit-above' so connlimit is there and modules gets loaded ( i suppose, coz it shows me the error for incomplete parameters in the second command). any ideas where i am slipping? thx a lot in advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
