Ipables problems


Hello everyone,
I am running a RH ver8 server, I have to modify a line on the iptable script.
here is the line Generated by the ipables-save ver 1.2.8
"-A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 9877 j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080"
So, I would like to know what does this line mean.
PS- I have Dansguarding configured on the port 8080.

Please answer as soon as possible,

Blessings
Junior

it says, forward all packets that match with protokol tcp and destination port 9877, to port 8080 of loopback.
so dnsguardian will handle that requests. but i dont know what software uses port 9877. u better check /etc/services for port info.

good luck.
