A few more quations about iptables setting: 1. What's difference if I put some lines like -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT before line -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT or put it in between it and the following line: -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited 2. When do we need to include "-m state --state NEW" or "-m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED" or "-m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED" in a line? Will they cause different functions? 3. For those lines with "-m state --state NEW" etc., should I put them before line -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT or after it? Thanks! Hongwei
