Hi,
I'm using a suse9.1 box with iptables as router/dump for the other machines of mine. custom firewall/nat settings are done by a script that is linked by 'rc3.d'. the script is like
#!/bin/bash IPTABLES='/usr/sbin/iptables -v' echo "Starting NoIP Client..." /usr/local/bin/noip2 echo "Done" [...] echo "Setting more firewall rules..." $IPTABLES -I INPUT -p tcp -i ppp0 --dport 1337 -j ACCEPT echo "Done" [... Executing more tools ...]
now the weird thing is that all tools run by the script are active while the iptables settings are not present when the script finishes . iptables does not give any error msg - the rules are simply ignored/forgotten/whatever.
any idea whats happening?
regards kkh
