Hi All,
I have not gone through the old discussions (if there was one on this
topic).
I wanted to know the rationale behind allowing MARK target only in the
mangle table?
Regards,
Seenu.

There is almost none and in recent kernel the limitation is not there
anymore. You can do marking in the filter tables:
iptables -A OUTPUT -j MARK --set-mark 1

Thanks. I was on RHEL 6 (2.6.32) with iptables 1.4.7 and the manpage
was mis-leading.
