They used to see all incoming and all outgoing packets respectively. </LI> <LI> The `-i' flag now means the incoming interface, and only works in the INPUT and FORWARD chains. Rules in the FORWARD or OUTPUT chains that used `-i' should be changed to `-o'. </LI> <LI> TCP and UDP ports now need to be spelled out with the --source-port or --sport (or --destination-port/--dport) options, and must be placed after the `-p tcp' or `-p udp' options, as this loads the TCP or UDP extensions respectively. </LI> <LI> The TCP -y flag is now --syn, and must be after `-p tcp'. </LI> <LI> The DENY target is now DROP, finally. </LI> <LI> Zeroing single chains while listing them works. </LI> <LI> Zeroing built-in chains also clears policy counters. </LI> <LI> Listing chains gives you the counters as an atomic snapshot. </LI> <LI> REJECT and LOG are now extended targets, meaning they are separate kernel modules. </LI> <LI> Chain names can be up to 31 characters. </LI> <LI> MASQ is now MASQUERADE and uses a different syntax. REDIRECT, while keeping the same name, has also undergone a syntax change. See the NAT-HOWTO for more information on how to configure both of these. </LI> <LI> The -o option is no longer used to direct packets to the userspace device (see -i above). Packets are now sent to userspace via the QUEUE target. </LI> <LI> Probably heaps of other things I forgot.</LI> </UL> </P> <HR> <A HREF="packet-filtering-HOWTO-11.html">Next</A> <A HREF="packet-filtering-HOWTO-9.html">Previous</A> <A HREF="packet-filtering-HOWTO.html#toc10">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
