iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --mask 255.255.255.0 results in iptables v1.4.21: unknown option "--mask" Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information. Yet iptables -m recent --help includes: --mask netmask Netmask that will be applied to this recent list. Looking at the source, the only oddity I see is that struct xt_recent_mtinfo does not contain mask, while struct xt_recent_mtinfo_v1 does contain mask. Is this telling me that --mask used to be, but is no longer, supported? Or is it a bug where a simple patch can fix it? FWIW, v1.6.0's libxt_recent.c is unchanged.
