Package: iptables
Version: 1.4.2-6
Severity: minor

The manpage for ip6tables mentions several options for a packet that is
being REJECTed, using the --reject-with options. The options mentioned
are the same as in iptables, but they don't seem to be working:

ip6tables -A eth1.out -d <masked due to privacy> -j REJECT --reject-with
icmp-host-unreachable
ip6tables v1.4.2: unknown reject type `icmp-host-unreachable'
Try `ip6tables -h' or 'ip6tables --help' for more information.

ip6tables -A eth1.in -s <masked due to privacy> -j REJECT --reject-with
icmp-host-prohibited
ip6tables v1.4.2: unknown reject type `icmp-host-prohibited'
Try `ip6tables -h' or 'ip6tables --help' for more information.


Googling resulted in an alternative for icmp-host-unreachable, being
icmp6-host-unreachable. I'm not sure about the alternative for
icmp-host-prohibited.

I'm also not sure if this is fixed in newer versions, as I don't have
the means to check it, but hopefully someone else can :-)

Keep up the good work!
