Hi, Yeah I know it works, because I ran the file using sh. I have fully tested the firewall and I am happy with it. But I am trying to get it to load at boot. I am just worried that it is going to conflict with the existing iptables config file. So far, what I have done is: 1. Rename /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables to iptables.old 2. chmod 644 iptables.old (To stop it from being run at bootup) 3. copy the fwbuilder script to /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables 4. restarted the machine. When I restart the machine I just get an error message saying that eth1 doesn't exist. Now this seems because the iptables file is being run before eth1 is being activated. I presume I have two options: 1. Take the code from the fwbuilder script and merge it with the original iptables file (now called iptables.old). I am not completely comfortable with this since all I would do is put the code inside the start() function, but I don't know if this would work. 2. Merge the rules from the fwbuilder script with the iptables rules located in /etc/sysconfig/. Are either of these a good idea? I have no clue how other people do it when using fwbuilder. There wasn't anything in the fwbuilder manual. Just want some advice. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chad Skinner Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 1:22 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: compiling rules in fwbuilder (Was fwbuilder) If you selected the correct firewall type when creating the firewall then I believe the script that was generated is a shell script that sets up the packet filter. You will most likely have to disable the redhat iptables script and modify your initialization scripts to call this shell script. > > Hi, > > Ok, I have set up my rules and compiled them.
