Hello,

this patch updates the list of protocols valid for the --to-ports option 
of the MASQUERADE and REDIRECT targets.

If I read the source correctly (no C programmer), icmp is also valid.
In that case the error message for !portok is missing icmp.

What does one specify, what is mapped with --to-ports and -p icmp?

Best regards

Mart

P.S. Is it ok to base on master, or should I use stable/next?
