WHICH IS THE RIGHT IP FOR THE 'lo' INTERFACE?

[Bruno Negr�o]

Hi all, I had a rule like this: iptables -P OUTPUT DROP iptables -A OUTPUT -p ALL -o lo -s 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT This way, my firewall was dropping a lot of legitimate packets originated from lo which use the source ip's of the internal or external interfaces(instead of 127.0.0.1). I extracted  that rule (iptables -A OUTPUT -p ALL -o lo -s 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT) from the iptables-howto. Can I conclude that this rule is wrong? Now I subtituted it for: iptables -A OUTPUT -p ALL -o lo -j ACCEPT Does it offer any risk?   Thank you, -------------------------------------------------  -- Bruno Negr�o -- Suporte  -- Plugway Acesso Internet Ltda.  -- (31)34812311  -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
