Subject: newbie question
hi,
I just wanna know few things , i have installed red hat 9, iptable is
installed.
Now the thing is, i didnt know at first that i
have to load the modules, i was getting the message
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
so after couple of searches i did find some help
and i manage to apply few commands i.e.
modprobe ip_tables
modprobe ip_conntrack
modprobe
iptable_nat
modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
modprobe
ip_nat_ftp
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT
ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type 8
-j DROP
all the above commands are accepted at command prompt, but when i try to
use this command
iptables -A PREROUTING -s
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT
--to-ports 8080 where xxx is any IP and yyy is the subnet mask, it returns me
the same message i.e.
iptables: No chain/target/match by that
name
So it also give the same message with POSTROUTING.
also
i dont wana load the modules and the commands each time the system starts, so
when i type the commands i used iptables-save command to save tat, also is
there ne possibility where i can store the command and execute when system
startsup
