Hello list. I'm in the process of 'modernizing' my iptables scripts to utilize iptables-save/iptables-restore. I've imported my script onto a test box, have exported via -save, and now I have a question or two about what I'm seeing. For starters, is there a reference for the changes in format? Google is most unhelpful when trying to search for "[2:656]", for example. Specifically, I'd like to know what the "2:656" means in the following line: ----- *filter :INPUT DROP [2:656] ----- Why isn't it simply: ----- *filter :INPUT DROP ----- And what would happen if I changed it? Thanks in advance.
