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:

The type given can be
|
|
Packit |
7b22a4 |
\fBicmp\-net\-unreachable\fP,
|
|
Packit |
7b22a4 |
\fBicmp\-host\-unreachable\fP,
|
|
Packit |
7b22a4 |
\fBicmp\-port\-unreachable\fP,
|
|
Packit |
7b22a4 |
\fBicmp\-proto\-unreachable\fP,
|
|
Packit |
7b22a4 |
\fBicmp\-net\-prohibited\fP,
|
|
Packit |
7b22a4 |
\fBicmp\-host\-prohibited\fP, or
|
|
Packit |
7b22a4 |
\fBicmp\-admin\-prohibited\fP (*),
|
|
Packit |
7b22a4 |
which return the appropriate ICMP error message (\fBicmp\-port\-unreachable\fP is
|
|
Packit |
7b22a4 |
the default). 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).

(*) Using icmp\-admin\-prohibited with kernels that do not support it will result in a plain DROP instead of REJECT
