Hi,

Can someone clarify whether I've made a mistake or
mis understood the tutorial?  I'm using the latest
iptables (1.2.8 I believe) on a Linux 2.4.22 machine.

In the tutorial, it says -p tcp,udp is permitted;
but the manpage states nothing of the sort(but
implies that it can't be done that way).

In the past, I've been using two lines for both
tcp and udp settings.  I just decided to re-read
on the tutorial and noticed that I could use
the tcp,udp (or udp,tcp) way.  Saves space.

But it doesn't work.  I googled and came up with
an archived message stating that there is indeed
an error, but that was two years ago.

If it is indeed true that I can't specify protocols
like that, is there a patch that can allow me to
do this?

Thanks for the clarification.
