IPTables how to read the rules?
Hello
I have a question about how to read the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file under RedHat. I thought it was from top down and IPTables would accept the first rule in found that matched.
If this is so why is the rule
:INPUT DROP [0:0]
at the top? I'm guessing this rule is special or IPTables reads all the rules and somehow makes a decision?
Thank you
