First of all i have to apologize for the multiple messages.
Hi all! I recently switched from ipchains to iptables. In adition i'm using Logwatch. Iptables is working, but i have one problem with the logs After switching from ipchains to iptables-1.2.4-2 the logs went from looking like this: ################## LogWatch 2.1.1 Begin ##################### ---------------------- Kernel Begin ------------------------ Denied packets from adsl-129-44.wanadoo.be (213.177.129.44).

The log entries just keep repeating themselves. It looks like a flood Here is a copy of the iptables script that i use: #!/bin/bash IPT="/sbin/iptables" $IPT -F $IPT -X firewall $IPT -N firewall $IPT -A firewall -j LOG --log-level info --log-prefix "Firewall:" $IPT -A firewall -j DROP $IPT -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1/32 -d 127.0.0.1/32 -j ACCEPT #Accept DNS, 'cause it's warm and friendly $IPT -A INPUT -p udp --source-port 53 -j ACCEPT $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp --source-port 113 -j ACCEPT $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 113 -j ACCEPT #$IPT -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 22 -j ACCEPT $IPT -A INPUT -p icmp -j firewall $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp --syn -j firewall $IPT -A INPUT -p udp -j firewall Thanks all
