Dan Hunt St. Brieux > Saskatchewan Canada There is something new in iptables that wasn't in ipchains, that allows connections already established. A line like: $IPTABLES -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT Will allow any already established connection through, even if that port is otherwise firewalled. I have all ports set to drop (except ssh) on my firewall, but this allows all the NAT'ed boxes behind it to do whatever they need to do.
