redhat 8.0 kernel 2.4.20-20.8 rc.firewall version 0.74 iptables v1.2.8
okay iptables is complaining of a bad argument error. I am attmepting to forward port 10700 using IPTABLES. What on earth am I doing wrong? I refered to the tutorial page for guidance: http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/forwarders.html#PORTFW-VIA-2.4.X-PREROUTING copied the proper lines to my /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-2.4 file --- snip --- PORTFWIP="192.168.1.69" $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -o $INTIF -p tcp --dport 10700 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT #Enable PORTFW of this port 10700 traffic # $IPTABLES -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -d $EXTIP --dport 10700 -j DNAT --to $PORTFWIP:10700 --- snip --- now when /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-2.4 is executed I see the following bad argument '10700' error: --- snip --- # /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall start Loading simple rc.firewall version 0.74..
