some problem about iptables (RHEL5)

[signmem]

I try to use iptables connect limit function.

I insert module /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/kernel/net/netfilter/xt_limit.ko already.

but following command is something wrong.

iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 2 -j REJECT
iptables: Unknown error 4294967295

can anyone help?

thank you.

Remove '-t filter' from the rule.

Remove '-t filter' from the rule.

-t filter <-- user to define tables.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 2 -j REJECT
iptables: Unknown error 4294967295

same problem ~!!!

Sorry didn't look at the whole rule.

iptables  -A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 2 -j REJECT

[signmem]

iptables -A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 2 -j REJECT
iptables: Unknown error 4294967295

OK, it sounds like you do not have commlimit properly setup. You are going to have to fix this in order to get thing working. No, I do not have this subroutine installed unless it is installed be the default setup or installed with the updates. I try to keep my system as simple to operate as possible.

Two -m options in the same line... I think your looking for this:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 2 -j REJECT

[signmem]

thank you for you reply, but unfortunately


iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 2 -j REJECT

[root@station10 ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
