You cannot define a variable in iptables rule. However this is a bit misleading concept of yours, You define variable in shell and then invoke iptables/ipchains providing it input in form of variables. like: BADGUY="202.122.122.1" iptables -A input -s $BADGUY -d 0/0 -j DENY So if that's what you really meant then yes you can do it, but its not known as variable in iptable :) Regards, --------- Muhammad Faisal Rauf Danka Chief Technology Officer Gem Internet Services (Pvt) Ltd. web: www.gem.net.pk Vice President Pakistan Computer Emergency Responce Team (PakCERT) web: www.pakcert.org Chief Security Analyst Applied Technology Research Center (ATRC) web: www.atrc.net.pk On Thu, 6 Jun 2002, Sergio Alves de Lima Jr. wrote: > > Hello, > > is possible definied variable in iptables rule, example: > > $user="blueuser"; > > iptables -A input -s $user -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT > _____________________________________________________________ --------------------------- [ATTITUDEX.COM] http://www.attitudex.com/ --------------------------- _____________________________________________________________ Promote your group and strengthen ties to your members with email@yourgroup.org by Everyone.net http://www.everyone.net/?btn=tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe email security-discuss-request@linuxsecurity.com with "unsubscribe" in the subject of the message.
