 Miscellaneous notes on IPTables. 
  
 * iptables v1.2.6a (debian stable) doesn't seem to function correctly with kernel v2.4.24 if you're using the -m owner module. I used a backport from www.backports.org (http://www.backports.org/debian/dists/stable/iptables/) version 1.2.9 which seems to work fine.

-<Criggie> what I don't get is why his mac address is so long%%%  
-<Criggie> MAC=00:e0:29:2e:bc:c1:00:90:1a:40:04:11:08:00 <-- strange%%%  
-<Isomer> er%%%  
-<Isomer> the reason it's so long%%%  
-Criggie sits back for a lesson from daddy Isomer%%%  
-<Criggie> tell us a story daddy Isomer%%%  
-<Isomer> is it' s the source mac address, destination mac address, layered protocol%%%  
-<Isomer> it's a binary dump of the entire mac header%%%  
-<Isomer> so the first 6 bytes are the source , the second 6 are the dest, and the last 2 are the protocol%%%  
-<Criggie> wow%%%  
-<Isomer> 0800 being IP%%%  
-<Isomer> go wiki it : )%%%  
+* the [ MAC] s listed in the logs are the full MAC header, with the two [MACAddress]es and the [Protocol] (which explains their length ).
