1 Dear list,
2
3 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.
