Hi, I am hoping someone can help with the following: I am at a point where I require advice/direction with regards to adding variables (manually or otherwise) to a standard iptables file. I am not sure how to add them/where to add them or the syntax that is required. In the example below I have manually added one variable (Line 2) to see would happen to /etc/sysconfig/iptables (Redhat FC3 install). When I iptables-restore < /etc/sysconfig/iptables I get "error at line 2 failed" # Generated by iptables-save v1.2.11 on Mon Mar 7 22:18:56 2005 EXT_INTERFACE="eth0" *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] -A INPUT -p tcp -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable -A INPUT -p udp -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT -A mine -j ACCEPT COMMIT # Completed on Mon Mar 7 22:18:56 2005 Any advice would be appreciated Thanks and regards michael
