Hello Folks! New to the list so I'll keep this short.
I post some detailed info/questions to the security forum at linuxquestions.org & they suggested you. Please see the details at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=aaf7404cf950fa2eb24 fb7df1c7ab51b&threadid=20978 or let me know if you want me to post all that detail directly to the list The gist is that 1.2.2 was working GREAT on an mdk8.1 box, then something happened. I thought it was because I got up to about 1800 DROP rules but that doesn't seem to be the case. What happens now is that my basic rules for closing ports, logging SYN's, dropping icmp, inside-outside GW/NAT/MASQ etc. works great. But any additional rules I want to apply HAVE NO EFFECT, even after clearing the 1800 or so rules and 'starting over'. I've tried many a thing but can't explain what's happening & probably made it worse as I a bit beyond newbie (I know enough to be dangerous). TIA! Ron
