Hi, I'am using the simple rc.firewall script from Oscar Andreason. >From time to time the log rule next to the output section show's this: Feb 17 10:59:01 gerry kernel: IPT OUTPUT packet died: IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=192.168.0.1 DST=217.89.23.137 LEN=61 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=19170 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=32769 DPT=53 LEN=41 The destination ip is the bind process of my provider. What have I to change to avoid this logging ? Here are some rules for the OUTPUT section: $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p ALL -s $LO_IP -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p ALL -s $LAN_IP -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p ALL -s $INET_IP -j ACCEPT As far as I understand all protocol's are allowed. I've uncommented in the allowed chain the port 53 without any success. $IPTABLES -A udp_packets -p UDP -s 0/0 --destination-port 53 -j ACCEPT It's still logging ... -- Best Regards, Mark
