Hi
I have the following rules in my iptables conf:
iptables -N bad_tcp_packets
iptables -A bad_tcp_packets -p TCP ! --syn -m state --state  NEW -m
limit --limit 3/minute -j LOG --log-prefix "New not syn: "

When I look in the logging using fwlogwatch I see: 
new not syn: eth0 x packets from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to 192.168.xxx.xxx port
y ---r--

This last part can also be:
sa----
-a-r--
-af---
-a--p-

I thought this was meant to be the header options of TCP packets,
meaning:
1 = URG
2 = ACK
3 = PSH
4 = RST
5 = SYN
6 = FIN

Am I wrong in this, and what do the s,a,f,r,p,? mean if I am (and also
when I am right ;)

This packages also exist between 2 of ou own servers, on ports that are
closed for the outside world, in the private range of the servers
Anyone any ideas?
