Hello I'm trying to guess why the REDIRECT tarjet is not applied to local process having CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_LOCAL enabled Having the following rule iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --destination $HOSTB/32 --protocol udp --destination-port 123 \ -j REDIRECT --to-ports $ABPORT doesn't apply to local ip address, please note that I'm not referring to the loopback. If the packet is sent form 127.0.0.1 works ok. I'm running kernel 2.6.9 vanilla Any comment or suggestion will be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance Ulisses Debian GNU/Linux: a dream come true ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Computers are useless.
