Description Jeremiah Johnson 2005-07-13 13:13:36 UTC

Apparently at some point in IPtables development the dstlimit module was renamed
to hashlimit.  However, when this module was renamed, the manpage was not
updated.  iptables(8) documents the proper usage of the dstlimit module but not
the hashlimit module which uses almoost exactly the same arguments.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.man 8 iptables
2.
3.

the iptables 1.3.2 package seems to fix this issue.  However it still documents
dstlimit in the manpage while there is no dstlimit module in /lib/iptables.

I don't quite undestand what issue it fixes then, if it still refers to
dstlimit. Anyway, this need to be fixed upstream.
