[tlug] iptables: problem with REJECT

[Jean-Christian Imbeault <jc@example.com>]

I'm trying to add an iptable rule with a REJECT target but it keeps 
getting refused. If I change the target to DROP though it's accepted. 
Can someone spot my error? Is REJECT no longer a valid target? (the man 
page indicate it is still a valid target ...)

# iptables -F
# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

# iptables -A INPUT -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j REJECT
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
# iptables -A INPUT -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j DROP
# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
DROP       all  --  anywhere             127.0.0.0/8

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Thanks!
