I would suggest taking the easy way out. If you have the gnome libs loaded, go to: http:firestarter.sourceforge.net and download the latest Firestarter 0.8.3 and install it. This produces a working iptables firewall with all policies set to DROP except for things you want open. Once you have that setup, then you can go back and try to figure out what went wrong with your original script. jb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
