Hi all,

I was reading the iptables manual because I needed the correct arguments 
of the policy (-P) command.
Here it is:

       -P, --policy chain target
              Set the policy for the chain to the given target.  See the 
section TARGETS for the legal targets.  Only built-in (non-user-defined) 
chains can
              have policies, and neither built-in nor user-defined 
chains can be policy targets.

So I checked the TARGETS.

TARGETS
       A  firewall rule specifies criteria for a packet, and a target.  
If the packet does not match, the next rule in the chain is the 
examined; if it does
       match, then the next rule is specified by the value of the 
target, which can be the name of a user-defined chain or one of the 
special values ACCEPT,
       DROP, QUEUE, or RETURN.

My question is: What is the difference between the ACCEPT and the RETURN 
target in policy ??? :D

Thanx.
