This is utterly wrong.  Chains are still called chains.  See
"man iptables" and "iptables --help".  Tables are groups of
related-purpose chains.

PREROUTING, INPUT, FORWARD, OUTPUT, and POSTROUTING are the names of
chains.  Fulling specifying a chain requires giving its chain name and
the table it's in.

I realize most users on the list know this, but I felt this
needed correcting for the archives.

It also has very little to do with ntfilter/iptables.
