Hi all In my iptables script I have the following chains: # ---LET MAKE SOME CHAINS--- #...[LOGDROP]... iptables -N LOGDROP iptables -A LOGDROP -j LOG iptables -A LOGDROP -j DROP #...[LOGACCEPT]... iptables -N LOGACCEPT iptables -A LOGACCEPT -j LOG iptables -A LOGACCEPT -j ACCEPT When I re-apply (./iptables.script) I get the following error iptables: Chain already exists iptables: Chain already exists Tried flushing the rules first then re-running and I always get that error. I guess something is wrong with the chain. Can someone more experienced explain what the issue here is? I'm primarily from a Cisco PIX background and just started on iptables. BTW the OS is ubuntu 6.02 server edition.
