Hi,

I have implemented one particular rule on the input chain. The rule explicitly
REJECTs queries on port 113. In my kernel-logs, the access is logged in as
a DENY.

Here is the rule syntax:

ipchains -A input -j REJECT -i eth2 -s any/0 -d 10.23.86.125 -p TCP ! -y

the entry in syslog is:
Mar 18 18:39:48 pasta kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=6 24.24.63.86:62779 10.23.86.125:113 L=60 S=0x00 I=26383 F=0x4000 T=52 SYN (#11)

Why is it logged in as a DENY?

Thank you in advance.
