I have RH7.2 with ipchains-1.3.10-10 on Intel box.
I have confugured ipchains to reject any connection to my ssh port from all
networks except a few which I normally use. My syslog shows messages from
sshd that some connect attempts were made and rejected by sshd from clients
outside the allowed networks. Why wouldn't ipchains block all such packets
before application layer?
