Which is what I explained in my previous message. I quit here. With the typos fixed, your /etc/sysconfig/iptables looks correct, but that is hard to verify because you didn't post the original unmodified file. "ifup eth0" may fail, but should not print iptables errors, because it doesn't insert/delete any netfilter rules when the RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT chain is not available. There is a rough check on that in lines 191- of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup. Nevertheless you write you still get those iptables errors. Doesn't make any sense unless the ifup scripts is a modified version or your /etc/sysconfig/iptables script has other errors. The output you posted early is this: > Determining IP information for eth0 ... iptables: > No chain/target/match by that name failed, > Hostname: localhost.localdomain > iptables: Bad rule (does a matching rule exist in that chain?) Reformatted it translates to this: Determining IP information for eth0 ... failed Hostname: localhost.localdomain with the two iptables errors inbetween: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name failed, iptables: Bad rule (does a matching rule exist in that chain?) See my previous mail as when you would (but should not) get them (it's in lines 235- of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup). - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/M8C30iMVcrivHFQRAnACAJ9rKyV7L05RBR/g7EXAsLrA6KWtpgCdHCV0 cNfZ4vWELh8ie3QRxLkf3BE= =Sglc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
