Subject: NAT-HOWTO erreta?
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2004 23:33:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040105223333.GA27409@hbsn.de> (raw)

hi,

i think i just noticed a mistake in your NAT-howto...
(http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO//NAT-HOWTO.html)

section 5.2 Finer Points Of Selecting What Packets To Mangle

4th paragraph:

"These options must follow the `-p' option (which has a side-effect of
loading the shared library extension for that protocol). You can use
port numbers, or a name from the /etc/services file."

we talk about protocols here. not ports! so /etc/protocols is the right
reference not /etc/services.

so i'd suggest:

s/port numbers/protocol numbers/
and s,/etc/services,/etc/protocols,

or am i horribly wrong?

regards,
th
