protocol specification

protocol specification

[cc]

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.

Bad mistake on my part actually, and for some strange reason, people tend
to discover bugs "in group" (you're the 3rd person talking about
this in less than a week;)). In other words, I have this fixed locally,
will update when I get the rest of the  material finished.
