Hello all! First email list post! Xtreme Linux newbie I have been trying to get iptables/squid/Dansguardian to work together but I am quite good at screwing things up. Machine is an FC4 box My iptables won't start, I tried to install 1.3.5 (currently running 1.3.0) but screwed that up. I managed to go back to 1.3.0. Here is some output: [root@Leavenworth ~]# service iptables start Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ] Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ] Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ] Applying iptables firewall rules: iptables-restore: line 24 failed [FAILED] This is the ouput of: cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables: # Generated by iptables-save v1.3.0 on Fri Jan 27 06:22:49 2006 *filter :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0] -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p ipv6-crypt -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p ipv6-auth -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -d 224.0.0.251 -p udp -m udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited COMMIT # Completed on Fri Jan 27 06:22:49 2006 # Generated by webmin #* # Forward HTTP connections to Squid proxy -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp -s 8080 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128 COMMIT # Completed If I do an iptables-save > firewall-config this is what the file ends up with: # Generated by iptables-save v1.3.0 on Tue Feb 7 18:15:27 2006 *filter :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [48:2884] :RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0] -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p ipv6-crypt -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p ipv6-auth -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -d 224.0.0.251 -p udp -m udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited COMMIT # Completed on Tue Feb 7 18:15:27 2006 I'd like to get rid of this and start all over again: # Completed on Fri Jan 27 06:22:49 2006 # Generated by webmin #* # Forward HTTP connections to Squid proxy -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp -s 8080 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128 COMMIT becasue I think it is messing me up! Is there a way of "deleting" the script and iptables making me a nice new one without any errors? Thank you so much for your time __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
