adding counters

adding counters

[Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk]

hi

I've created a new table with the following lines, and inserted a -j counters 
on top of INPUT. Wouldn't this allow me to count packets per port? All I get 
is the -j counters line increasing it's byte count, but none of the below 
does...

Chain counters (1 references)

Is this a server, providing pop3s, irc, https, imap, pop3, http and smtp 
services to other clients, or are you actually sending packets *through* this 
machine and the link should be from the FORWARD chain ?

If this really is a server, and the INPUT chain is correct, please post your 
ruleset (ie the commands which create the rules) instead of the output from 
iptables -L.
