We already had this in 1.2.7a! Yes, you're completely right. I had checked before replying and had noticed that only one was missing... indeed, it was ipt_helper.c... But I didn't remember having ever heard about this match before (despite my daily read of the devel mailing-list) and a very quick look to the code made me consider it as... well, I don't know... a sort of 'dummy' module. ;-) Maybe it's because of its very generic nature. But I was clearly wrong. Never trust me again, please. :-) So, now, I'll let Martin Josefsson document it, as he should have right from the start. ;-) And to win some kind of forgiveness, I'll help Andras Kis-Szabo by letting him know that eui64 and length matches seem to be missing in his ip6tables manpage. Yesterday I was a loser, now I'm an informer... it's only getting worser! ;-) Herve -- _ (°= Hervé Eychenne //) v_/_ WallFire project: http://www.wallfire.org/
