In this section, we will attempt to explain the usage of new netfilter targets. The patches will appear in alphabetical order. Additionally, we will not explain patches that break other patches. But this might come later.
Generally speaking, for targets, you can get the help hints from a particular module by typing :
# ip6tables -j THE_TARGET_YOU_WANT --help
This would display the normal iptables help message, plus the specific ``THE_TARGET_YOU_WANT'' target help message at the end.
This patch by Jan Rekorajski <baggins@pld.org.pl> adds a new target that allows you to LOG the packets as in the IPv4 version of iptables.
The examples are the same as in iptables. See the man page for details!
This patch by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org> adds a new target that allows you to REJECT the packets as in the IPv4 version of iptables.
The examples are the same as in iptables. See the man page for details!
