Re: Potential Documentation Issue with iptables

I have never contributed before. Here is what I did:

cd ~

mkdir ddp

cd ddp

svn checkout svn://anonscm.debian.org/ddp/

edit file at

ddp/manuals/trunk/securing-howto/en/services.sgml

svn diff > ~/fix-services.sgml.diff

I attached the result file.

I am not sure if that's the right process as I kind of guessed it all.

Your suggestion looks sensible, could you create a patch?

Kind regards,
