Hi all, Having a small problem with the error message in the subject. I'm running Slackware 9.0, Iptables 1.2.7a, rc.firewall-2.4-stronger version .77s. Basically it gives me the above error on each of the following commands trying to set up my default policy: iptables -P INPUT REJECT iptables -P OUTPUT REJECT iptables -P FORWARD REJECT Same error wether I punch it in from the command line or it runs in the script. Alternately, the same commands with ACCEPT instead of REJECT works fine. I've used these very same fw rules on various other machines with different versions of Linux and they have worked just fine. This is the first time I've used slackware 9 and the newest iptables though. Is there something I'm missing here? Thanks for the help! Bret
