Well, but how could this forward chain appear?
The reason why I wrote also about my kernel config is not because I don't
know that ipchains is not _directly_ related to kernel. Sometimes some
kernel config changes trigger some Debian script to behave in different
way. I remember about kernel modules for example. In my case I did not
make such changes. So I wonder if I did something to create such chain
or some updated package did this. Or maybe something else...
Is this is some Debian package change, I think this is not very good change
and I would make a bug report on this package. If this was me, I will
internally report a bug against myself...;)
Which package could create this chain?
--JS
