iptables -L

Hi,

When I issue the command

iptables -L

It shows only the INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD chains. PREROUTING and
POSTROUTING are not shown. Why is that?

Thanks in advance.

Because you don't have the MASK module loaded?

I never did like the output from that command so I use this instead:

iptables -L -v -n | less -SCi

This doesn't word wrap the output and you can scroll through the output
with the arrow keys including left and right to see the complete line.
