Hi! I'm new here, but I hope I didn't oversee any rules which might offend anyone and I hope as well this question wasn't asked before; google returned many pages related to REJECT, iptables and debian, but none of the first 40 results seems to help me.
I wrote a small firewall-skript based on iptables and wanted the default policy to be REJECT. Therefore I entered a line [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/thorsten# iptables -P INPUT REJECT which resulted in iptables: Bad policy name I tried already to load the module ipt_REJECT (modprobe ipt_REJECT), which seemed to work properly; nevertheless iptables still returns the same error message. Could anyone help me please? Further information about my system: My system is a KNOPPIX-based installation (yes, I took the lazy way), the KNOPPIX CD was based on woody. Iptables (and the whole skript) does work properly when I set the default policy to DROP. The kernel is version 2.4.19. kind regards Thorsten M�llers -- "Und wer was anderes macht, ist Informatiker."
