I've asked this question before, but never received any response, so forgive me for asking again. I was just looking through some things, and what I want to do has an option to do it in iptables 1.2.4, And that option is the -C or --check. I want to be able to verify if a given packet will make it through a chain.
But when I run it with 1.2.4, it tells me this feature will be implemented real soon. Has this been done in 1.2.6a? And if so, or when so, might I make a request to add how far down the chain we'd like to test? I'd like to know if say, it will pass the first 3 rules of a chain, or the first 5, so you can use that to tell where to insert a new rule to make sure it isn't affected by any other rules, but doesn't supersceed any intents. Thanks a lot. Glover George Systems/Networks Admin Gulf Sales & Supply, Inc. (228) 762-0268 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gulfsales.com
