Dear list, |

This might be too fundamental to answer, but I would like to know |
4 |
when will the 'dropped' value in the output of /sbin/ifconfig be counted up. |
5 |
|
6 |
I have tried setting up a firewall using iptables with a very simple rule like |
7 |
the following: |
8 |
|
9 |
<samle> |
10 |
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP |
11 |
|
12 |
When trying to connect from the other host through tcp port 80, there |
13 |
was no response, which is expected. |
14 |
|
15 |
However, the 'dropped' value was note added up even the packet is dropped. |
16 |
|
17 |
Any comment would be greatly appreciated. |
