iptables

[kirukan]

Hai guys,
This is my very first time to contact you. I need to know the meaning of these following lines
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
RH-Lokkit-0-50-FORWARD
is there any special meaning of these Firewall-1, Lokkit-0-50

thanks

Where are you seeing these? Is that part of the output from 'iptables --list' ??? Or probably pulled from /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. Is this a Redhat Enterprise version, or Fedora version? Im not sure about the exact names, but the INPUT would probably be the INPUT chain for incoming IP traffic of the firewall, FORWARD is the FORWARDing chain, and OUTPUT would be for any outgoing IP traffic.

As opposed to a tiny snippet, perhaps showing the entire output would help put this into context.

Thanks for your reply. I modified /etc/sysconfig/iptables in RHEL4.
I just want to know, is there any special meaning of these RH-Firewall-1,Lokkit-0-50(all of them ar using these two lines), or is this just a "chain name" which are defined in the iptables? or can i use any name instead of these two?

Ah, i gotcha. Those are just names and can be called anything you want as long as its tied correctly to INPUT (or FORWARD or OUTPUT depending on which area you want it).
