Subject: REJECT target not as policy
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2007 15:52:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070820135206.GA18644@bart.bertram-scharpf.homelinux.com> (raw)

Hi,


on one of my machines the REJECT target doesn't behave as I
expect. It is inserted into a chain but it is not accepted
as a policy.

myhost ~ # iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy DROP 2 packets, 116 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination 
...
    0     0 REJECT     tcp  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere    ...
...

But:

myhost ~ # iptables -v -t filter -P INPUT REJECT
iptables: Bad policy name


How comes this? I guess it is a kernel option I have to
change. But which?

Thanks in advance,

Bertram
