Subject: Newbie: why is this packet being dropped/logged?
Date: Mon, 04 Aug 2003 14:11:35 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F2DEB07.1060801@mega-bucks.co.jp> (raw)

I am relatively new to iptables. I have set up some basic rules for my 
web server to allow only SSH and HTTP traffic (listed below). But I am 
finding some log entries showing packets that were trying to connect to 
port 80 getting logged (and dropped).

I can't understand why these packets were logged as I thought my rules 
would let through any packet trying to connect to port 80.

# iptables -n -v -L

Here is one of those log entries:

kernel: DROP:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:d0:b7:e1:13:e7:00:90:fe:1e:50:a6:08:00 
SRC=66.69.93.167 DST=203.179.86.66 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=105 
ID=8622 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=1439 DPT=80 WINDOW=64952 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0

Can someone help me understand why this packet was dropped?

Thanks,

Jean-Christian Imbeault
