Hey all,
This should be a quick answer to a quick question: Mostly out of curiosity,
I want to add an accounting rule to count all packets that get Dropped by my
Shorewall configuration. Unfortunately, the obvious

COUNT   Drop

rule added to the accounting file doesn't work: I get the following error:

iptables: Chain already exists
   ERROR: Command "/sbin/iptables -N Drop" Failed


It seems that by adding that accounting rule, Shorewall is now trying to
create the Drop chain? Why isn't it just adding the necessary accounting
rules to the Drop chain, as it already exists by default? What am I doing
wrong here?

Thanks,
Travis
