I have been trying to secure my box, as a newbie I decided to start small, but things seem to fail on my first command.

I do:

Code:

# iptables -P INPUT DROP
# iptables -F INPUT
# iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

Does anyone have an idea what I have messed up?

State is a match type isn't it?

The available match types for iptables is affected by your kernel config and your sysctl settings... have you checked those? _________________ -- Julius living under a rock JuliusPC consulting discover fantastic shops
