Package: iptables
Version: 1.3.3-2
Severity: wishlist
with a command similar to 'iptables -I INPUT -2 -j LOG', whereas only
positive integers are allowed after INPUT at present. Otherwise why not use
'iptables -A INPUT 2 -j LOG'.
This can be done with the help of a command like awk, but it makes scripts a
bit more obscure (and I don't know, as probably others, how to use awk).
I would use this in my simple config to be able to add a few rules per
interface, without having to rerun all the scripts when only one interface
is going down or up (it would require to test if each interface is up or
down and add complexity): a few last rules make a policy (since a user
defined chain is not allowed as a policy) and I would like to add some
dropping rules just before the policy.
Please forward this wish item where it is appropriate, if you think it is
usefull.
