Hiii, Guys! What iam running: Linux 7.2 Kernel 2.4.19 Iptables-1.2.7a Pump-0.8.11-7 K, Since i am connected to the net with a ADSL connection my ip address changes usually. But in my script i have to put in my ipaddy in some rules. My iptables script is in my "/etc/init.d" named "firewall" and it runs and is working.But to update my iptables in the script i installed "PUMP" .(i tryed following the directions out of LINUX FIREWALLS book ed.2) I created a pump.conf file in /etc dir whick looks like this! # "/etc/pump.conf" retries 3 script /etc/rc.d/rc.pump.done device eth0 { noisdomain } ******************************************************************************* And in the "/etc/rc.d/" i created this script like the book said and ran it using "chmod -u=rwx /etc/rc.d/rc.pump.done" here is what the script looks like: #!/bin/bash if [ "$1" = "down" ]; then exit 0 fi if [ "$1" = "lease" ]; then echo address $3 assigned to network interface $2 > /dev/console fi /sbin/pump -i eth0 -s > /var/tmp/pump.out IPADDR=`fgrep IP: /var/tmp/pump.out | sed -e "s/.*IP: //"` NETMASK=`fgrep IP: /var/tmp/pump.out | sed -e "s/.*Netmask: //"` BROADCAST=`fgrep IP: /var/tmp/pump.out | sed -e "s/.*Broadcast: //"` NETWORK=`fgrep IP: /var/tmp/pump.out | sed -e "s/.*Network: //"` DHCP_SERVER=`fgrep IP: /var/tmp/pump.out | sed -e "s/.*DHCP_SERVER: //"` GATEWAY=`fgrep IP: /var/tmp/pump.out | sed -e "s/.*Gateway: //"` DOMAIN=`fgrep IP: /var/tmp/pump.out | sed -e "s/.*Domain: //"` rm /var/tmp/pump.out echo IPADDR=$IPADDR . /etc/rc.d/pump.info echo NETMASK=$NETMASK >> /etc/rc.d/pump.info echo SUBNET_BASE=$NETWORK >> /etc/rc.d/pump.info echo SUBNET_BROADCAST=$BROADCAST >> /etc/rc.d/pump.info echo GATEWAY=$GATEWAY >> /etc/rc.d/pump.info echo HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME >> /etc/rc.d/pump.info echo DHCP_SERVER=$DHCP_SERVER>> /etc/rc.d/pump.info sh /etc/init.d/iptables restart exit 0 ******************************************************************************** And soo after any where in the script where my IP ADDRESS is i put this if [ -f /etc/rc.d/pump.info ]; then . /etc/rc.d/pump.info else echo "rc.firewall: dhcp is not configured." sh /ect/init.d/iptables panic exit 1 fi ******************************************************************************** But it is not working: here is what i get when i reboot all that happen when linux says: Starting up redhat network daemon: /etc/init.d/ipatables no such file or directory <---- i didnt catch the whole error cause it disappers to fast and cant find it in /var/log/boot.log but i know it is pretty close to the error!!
