Good evening, Edmund,

In reference to the following, I suspect.
There has been a similar discussion going on on the ipchains
mailing list; another gentleman who used the strong ruleset also got
bitten by the hidden characters in that file.
As a test, could you:
cd /etc/rc.d
mv rc.firewall rc.firewall.hold
touch rc.firewall
chmod 755 rc.firewall
mcedit rc.firewall #Use your favourite editor and type in the
#lines by hand. Comments are optional
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
I suspect that this version will work just fine.
David - could you provide a sanitized version of the strong
ruleset? Many thanks.
Cheers,
- Bill
