netfilter iptables rule with iprange module prints 'hoho' to stdout when used with '!'
Issue
-
Why the string 'hoho' is printed to the STDOUT when using the iprange module in iptables rules and using the '!' symbol.
[root@ ~]# iptables -A INPUT -m iprange ! --src-range 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255 hoho [root@ ~]# /sbin/iptables-restore /etc/sysconfig/iptables hoho
