This target creates audit records for packets hitting the target. It can be used to record accepted, dropped, and rejected packets. See auditd(8) for additional details. .TP \fB\-\-type\fP {\fBaccept\fP|\fBdrop\fP|\fBreject\fP} Set type of audit record. Starting with linux-4.12, this option has no effect on generated audit messages anymore. It is still accepted by iptables for compatibility reasons, but ignored. .PP Example: .IP iptables \-N AUDIT_DROP .IP iptables \-A AUDIT_DROP \-j AUDIT .IP iptables \-A AUDIT_DROP \-j DROP
