IPTables Strangeness

[Luke Davis]

I checked the man page: the option is lower case.  It doesn't show up at
all in help, which makes me suspect some kind of version mismatch,
although I'm running the latest debian stable release of iptables.
I don't think a module is the problem there, and at the moment I'm not
sure how to check.  (no idea which one would support this option).
