http://unix.stackexchange.com – I'm just reading up on iptables, finally. I'm a little confused because the input chain from the filter table (as installed, fedora 17), looks like this: target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT udp -- anywhere 224.0.0.251 state NEW udp dpt:mdns REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-p (HowTos)
