just slightly related, but if I understood correctly, this could also be
written like:

iptables -I INPUT -i eth1 -p udp -m multiport --port 137 -j ACCEPT

it isn't much shorter, so what are the advantages of this notation?

BTW, wouldn't it be useful to be able to filter on packets with a port
number on (udp OR tcp) packets?

cheers
