Hi everyone. I use iptables for over a year, never had any problems that I couldn's 
solve but this one really puzzled me. We 
decided to set a GRE tunnel (just for fun) and realized that ipt doesn't allow gre 
packets to pass through. If I use the 
conventional scripting scheme - having -P INPUT ACCEPT and then dropping everything I 
don't like - GRE passes through. On 
the other side like a true paranoid I have my -P INPUT DROP, allowing anything I 
explicitly want, and that's where GRE fails
to pass. A quick search revealed that iptables is supposed to understand something 
like 
-A INPUT -p 47 -j ACCEPT
but in my case this doesn't happen. Also the rule
-A INPUT -p 47 -j LOG 
doesn't yield any results in the log files. Right now I am running kernel 2.4.18 with 
everything related to iptables and 
tunneling monolitichally compilled (no modules). Any suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated
Best regards
Peter

P.S. Does anyone know an approximate date for the H 323 conntrack to make it to the 
official patch-o-matic tree?
