Description of problem:
man iptables-extensions TARGET EXTENSIOS, AUDIT option --type is obsoleted
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iptables-1.8.2-9.el8.x86_64
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
If translate to nft rule:
iptables-translate -tmangle -A PREROUTING -p icmp -i veth_cs_s1 -j AUDIT --type reject|accept|drop
Results are same:
nft add rule ip mangle PREROUTING iifname "veth_cs_s1" ip protocol icmp counter log level audit
When AUDIT --type accept and --type drop rule get match, log is record here:
# cat /var/log/audit/audit.log
type=NETFILTER_PKT msg=audit(1550570337.522:752): mark=0x0 saddr=10.167.11.2 daddr=10.167.11.1 proto=1
type=NETFILTER_PKT msg=audit(1550570337.522:753): mark=0x0 saddr=10.167.11.2 daddr=10.167.11.1 proto=1
Log have no difference when setting --type option.

Actual results:
Expected results:
Need a change in man page.
Additional info:
According to Richard Guy Briggs <rgb>, AUDIT only record mark, src, dst and proto, common to all packet types.
For now --type is certainly gone.
Testing should be fairly trivial, just make sure iptables-extensions.8 contains the string "Set type of audit record. Starting with linux-4.12, this option has no effect".
