User defined chaines in OUTPUT chain

Hi,

1. If I use a user defined chain as the target in a rule in the
filter/OUTPUT chain, all local generated packets will be dropped, even
if the user defined chain contains only an "-j ACCEPT" rule.

The log rules I used indicated that the packets never return from the
user defined chain if the user defined chain contains no rules at all
and default policy is set to RETURN.

If I move the rules that I want to use in the user defined chain into
the OUTPUT chain, everything will work fine.

2. I have noticed that the default policy "RETURN" for user defined
chaines is not mentioned in the manual.

Kernel: 2.4.20-rc1
ebtables: ebtables-v2.0.002_vs_2.4.20-pre7.diff, ebtables-tools 2.0.1

Regards,
Tino
