iptables problem (proc)

Hello NG,

I'm trying to install iptables on a debian 2.6.8-2-686.
When i add a Rule (iptables -A input -s <source_ip> -j REJECT) i get:

iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

i found out, that `cat /proc/net/ip_tables_targets` is empty, so there
is something missing, but i don't see what.

/lib/iptables/libipt_REJECT.so exists and also the kernel module in
/lib/modules...

so what to to?

thanks,
regards,

Maaged

Did you try the following command ( INPUT is CAPS on)

iptables -A INPUT -s <source-ip> -j REJECT

It should work.

Two things. 1. REJECT tells the attacker that you're there, DROP does not,
and 2. I like to put the subnet in as well this way...

-A INPUT -s 123.123.123.123/255.255.255.255 -j DROP
