(You have something like this, but only for icmp type 0) Then you should also be able to remove the last two --sport 53 udp rules, which I think you're using for dns answers. > Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) > target prot opt source destination > ACCEPT all -- 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0/0 > ACCEPT icmp -- xxx 0.0.0.0/0 icmp type 0 state > RELATED,ESTABLISHED > ACCEPT icmp -- xxx 0.0.0.0/0 icmp type 8 state > NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED > ACCEPT udp -- xxx 0.0.0.0/0 udp spts:1024:65535 dpt:53 > ACCEPT udp -- xxx 0.0.0.0/0 udp spt:53 dpt:53 As OUTPUT is policy ACCEPT you don't need any of these rules. If you want to make it explicit use something like iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT as the first rule. c'ya sven-haegar -- Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. - Ben F. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
