Hello All, The manformated ( not having complete pay load, which are generated by utilities like hping and send-ip) ICMP redirect packets are getting droped after PREROUTING chain of mangle table. I want these ICMP REDIRECT ( icmp type 5 ) packets to be traversed till filter table even though it does not have connection tracking entry. I want where all I have to put NF_ACCEPT in netfilter code for this to happen. I am using 2.4.26 kernel. Can anybody through light on this. Thanks in advance. Vardhaman M
