Friends, I have a linux bridge, using bridge-utils... I've worked with bridges before and never had the problem I'm having now... The packets go from interface to interface, but never reach the FORWARD chain on iptables... How is that possible? Here's an example... The bridge has an uptime of 17hrs, working with no problems at all, yet, no packets on FORWARD chain... # uptime 17:54:46 up 17:54, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 # iptables -L -vn Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 5262 packets, 1012K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain FORWARD (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 2953 packets, 940K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination The main reason of this bridge is to filter some unwanted traffic coming from the network behind it... So, I need the FORWARD chain for that... Anything on /proc or something that can disable it? -- Marcelus Trojahn
