Re: multiport needs `-p tcp', `-p udp' - Why?

U'll have to let me know why "-p udp" is needed when the chain can only have udp packets, and therefor can only process udp packets.

I dont want to test over (( and over ) and over ) again when I know that the packet is already KNOWN to be from eth1 and of protocol UDP.

adding "-p UDP" to multiport does make iptables happy, but appears to be a useless test.

require another check for -p udp? Does it really need to have that option in
order for it to work?

+ /sbin/iptables -t filter -N PRE_UDP
+ /sbin/iptables -t filter -A INPUT -i eth1 -p udp -j PRE_UDP
+ /sbin/iptables -t filter -A PRE_UDP -m multiport --dport

iptables v1.4.5: multiport needs `-p tcp', `-p udp', `-p udplite', `-p
sctp' or `-p dccp'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
