Hi!
I'm trying to figure out how to prepend rules into the INPUT/OUTPUT chains.
The way I see it, you do
1. getsockopt IPT_SO_GET_INFO and IPT_SO_GET_ENTRIES to get current entries
in chain.
2. construct a ``struct ipt_entry'' with the new rule.
3. construct a ``struct ipt_replace'' entry with new entry + old entries.
4. do setsockopt IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE to insert new entry in the chain.
Now, what I can't figure out is what those hook_entry and underflow arrays
in ``struct ipt_replace'' are used for and what offsets I need to put in them.
Also, I see that iptables goes and appends elems entries for some of the
struct ipt_entry entries. When do I need to do that and is it necessary for
simple rules like these:
-I INPUT -d net/mask -i eth0
-I OUTPUT -s net/mask -o eth1
-I INPUT -d net/mask -p tcp --source-port 23 -i eth0
etc.
I don't see why any additional info would be necessary since you can fit all
that info in the the ``struct ipt_ip'' field.

Well, O.K. I'll compromise with my principles because of EXISTENTIAL DESPAIR!
