Package: iptables
Version: 1.4.2-6
Severity: normal
Hi.
According the manpage:
iptables-restore
-c, --counters
restore the values of all packet and byte counters
=> So I assume, that when not specifying -c,.. the counters should not
be restored.
However, when I have [0:0] in the files it is restors (to 0:0) even
without specifying -c,... for values != 0... it works as expected.
iptables-save
-c, --counters
include the current values of all packet and byte counters in
the output
=> I assume this means,.. the counter should only be included,.. when
-c is given.
However, they're alawys dumped.
btw: is there a difference between:
:INPUT [0:0]
and
:INPUT
(etc)?
Thanks,
Chris.
