This complies with what I understand from the man page of iptables 1.3.6(Debian Etch): -P, --policy chain target Set the policy for the chain to the given target. See the section TARGETS for the legal targets...neither built-in nor user-defined chains can be policy targets. TARGETS ...one of the special values ACCEPT, DROP, QUEUE, or RETURN. I haven't analysed this too much but I suspect that this limitation was put to prevent rule loops. --Amos -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
