[PATCH] iptables manpage: Update REDIRECT target

[PATCH] iptables manpage: Update REDIRECT target

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 283 bytes --]

Hello,

this patch renames libipt_REDIRECT.man to libxt_REDIRECT.man thus 
informing about the IPv6 version.
Also the list of valid protocols for port mapping is updated to:
tcp, udp, dccp and sctp.

I hope the address provided for IPv6 localhost ::1 is correct?

Best regards

Mart

I'm very sorry, I messed up the author lines, resending.

Yes. Also applied, thanks.
