From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Epiphany/1.0.4 Description of problem: Iptables counters not reflecting packets/bytes for udp on certain parts of chain. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iptables-1.2.8-13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a 14 line input chain, INPUT DROP, FORWARD and OUTPUT ACCEPT 2. Make 1st INPUT chain lo accept, 2nd inside eth accept, 3rd host src to udp port in the high range, 4th an ip subnet all accept, 5th an ip host all accept, three lines accept any for ptp interfaces, 7th allow icmp any, 8th all protocol 50, 9th allow all protocol 51, 10 allow related established, 11 allow smtp, 12 allow ssh, 13 allow udp dns, 14 REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited, 15 anti spoof rule for inside subnet. 3. service iptables restart Actual Results: The third line of the input chain never shows any hits, yet ethereal does show packets coming in that meet the rule criteria Expected Results: Packets come in and counters reflect them. Additional info: I took the same src ip dst udp rule, and changed it to src ip to any and get the same result. If I intiate an icmp echo from firewall to the same ip the counters do refelct the icmp traffic with the srp ip any rule. Inability of firewall counters to reflect traffic should be deemed a security problem and treated as such.
This problem has gone away, looking at my notes it is likely this is a pilot error so I will close.
