Can i be sure that if a match is listed >in /proc/net/ip_tables_matches i can really use it? Sure you can, except for 'ERROR' (which is spaced from other targets). All targets/tables/matches register against iptables at load time and, built-in or modules, those are listed in /proc/net/ip_tables_{matches,targets,names} As far as I know, this is the best way to do it. >Regards, >Victor Cheers, -- Samuel Jean SysAdmin & NetAdmin at cookinglinux.org
