Anyway thanks for your replay, Rob! ;) In fact I wasn't really helping you and for my answer the information was not relevant; also, your problem didn't go away (yet?). :-) I was responding to what people suggested and I suggest that if you're having a problem using iptables-[save|restore] you can write a script that works for you. > So debug of those tools will be neglected? I don't know if it is.

Well, I'm not using it so no: I'm not really that interested. But others may be. ;-) The latest version of iptables is 1.3.6. Since you're using 1.3.5, the latest version may solve your problem with iptables-[save|restore]. Grts, Rob
