When trying to set up a port range for bittorrent using the commands (as

/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 6881:6999 -j ACCEPT
and then:
/sbin/iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
and then listing iptables with:
/sbin/iptables -L
I get:
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp
dpts:6881:iatp-normalpri
as part of the output. This does not seem to include the port range
6881:6999 but only port 6881 and I've never seen "iatp-normalpri" on
previous FC versions.
Does anyone have any insight as to what's going on here?
Hi Stanton,
This is not an iptables error. 6999 really is defined as iapt-normalpri.
Prior to v3.2 bittorrent was restricted to 6881:6889. Since v3.2 the
allowed port range is 6881:6999.
If you'd prefer not seeing the standard port names or resolved dns names
use iptables -n [...] to restrict output to numeric values.
