------- Comment #3 from kernel at linuxace.com  2008-11-25 19:49 -------
This does not work:

> /sbin/iptables -A INPUT --dport 8191 --match recent --name WATCHLIST --set -j
DROP

because IT IS NOT A VALID RULE!!!  You CANNOT have a rule which includes a
"--dport" without ALSO specifying a protocol.  

Please read the iptables documentation on this, and do not reopen this bug.  It
is NOT a bug in the code, but a bug in your understanding of how to create
rules.
