netfilter buglog - Feb 2009 - [Bug 579] New: iptables --ports argument unknown

http://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579

           Summary: iptables --ports argument unknown
           Product: iptables
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Debian GNU/Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: iptables
        AssignedTo: laforge at netfilter.org
        ReportedBy: jokketan at hotmail.com


iptables v1.4.2

from the man page:

 --ports port[,port|,port:port]...
              Match if either the source or destination ports are equal to one
of the given ports.


when trying:

iptables -A INPUT --proto tcp --ports 443 -j ACCEPT

iptables v1.4.2: Unknown arg `(null)'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

i've seen the same thing in v1.2.9 under mandrake. Is the --ports argument
depcricated or something? Either there is something wrong with iptables or the
man pages are incorrect.

Best regards,

Jonathan.

You must add -m multiport, to load this module:

iptables -A INPUT --proto tcp -m multiport --ports 443 -j ACCEPT


The manpage is correct, as it says you must use -m.
