[arch-general] IPv6 firewall, same as IPv4?

[clemens fischer]

Can I put IPv6 rules into the regular etc/iptables/iptables.rules file
containing only IPv4 rules otherwise?

I noticed that both /usr/sbin/iptables and /usr/sbin/ip6tables depend on
the same .so libs, so me thinks these libs need to have IPv6 support and
all is well.

Also, to make IPv6 work I put a rule to pass IPv6 protocol traffic
outbound on eth+.  Inbound packets are propably handled by the customary
"-A INPUT -i eth+ -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT", as
they get into the machine somehow.  I didn't check packet counters,
though.
