Packit 7b22a4
This is used to send back an error packet in response to the matched
Packit 7b22a4
packet: otherwise it is equivalent to 
Packit 7b22a4
.B DROP
Packit 7b22a4
so it is a terminating TARGET, ending rule traversal.
Packit 7b22a4
This target is only valid in the
Packit 7b22a4
.BR INPUT ,
Packit 7b22a4
.B FORWARD
Packit 7b22a4
and
Packit 7b22a4
.B OUTPUT
Packit 7b22a4
chains, and user-defined chains which are only called from those
Packit 7b22a4
chains.  The following option controls the nature of the error packet
Packit 7b22a4
returned:
Packit 7b22a4
.TP
Packit 7b22a4
\fB\-\-reject\-with\fP \fItype\fP
Packit 7b22a4
The type given can be
Packit 7b22a4
\fBicmp6\-no\-route\fP,
Packit 7b22a4
\fBno\-route\fP,
Packit 7b22a4
\fBicmp6\-adm\-prohibited\fP,
Packit 7b22a4
\fBadm\-prohibited\fP,
Packit 7b22a4
\fBicmp6\-addr\-unreachable\fP,
Packit 7b22a4
\fBaddr\-unreach\fP, or
Packit 7b22a4
\fBicmp6\-port\-unreachable\fP,
Packit 7b22a4
which return the appropriate ICMPv6 error message (\fBicmp6\-port\-unreachable\fP is
Packit 7b22a4
the default). Finally, the option
Packit 7b22a4
\fBtcp\-reset\fP
Packit 7b22a4
can be used on rules which only match the TCP protocol: this causes a
Packit 7b22a4
TCP RST packet to be sent back.  This is mainly useful for blocking 
Packit 7b22a4
.I ident
Packit 7b22a4
(113/tcp) probes which frequently occur when sending mail to broken mail
Packit 7b22a4
hosts (which won't accept your mail otherwise).
Packit 7b22a4
\fBtcp\-reset\fP
Packit 7b22a4
can only be used with kernel versions 2.6.14 or later.
