I have a virtual server at a hoster, where I have a full /64-prefix, so I declared a few addeesses with special numbers ... e.g. pi = 3.141592653589 and the IPv6 address is [prefix:3:1415:9265:3589] there is also a special number below 1, the IPv6 [prefix:0:5772:1566:4901] now the bug: this works: -A INPUT -i eth0 -d prefix::5772:1566:4901 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT but this not: -A INPUT -i eth0 -d prefix:0:5772:1566:4901 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT Greetings, Walter -- 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
