recall that I had a script called myfilter (/bin/sh script)
in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ AND I had the line
pre-up myfilter in my /etc/network/interfaces files. It turns
out that one does NOT need to add the pre-up line, the script gets
run by run-parts automatically..presumably if it's executable which it was
 yes the manpage mentions run-parts but it does
not explicitly say one does not need to mention the pre-up line for scripts
that are the special directories.i think a little clarification may
be in order for the manpage.

NOTE one can  run any command in the pre-up line. It's a simple matter
to put in pre-up env >somefile to see what environment variables are set. IN
particular PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
and consequently one could run iptables directly



No doubt the more learned users on the list are wondering what all the fuss is
all about ;-)

Nope. It was created directly on the box with vi...

Doesn't seem to make a difference whether there is a space after #! or not.
still get the same annoying message. I suppose it doesn't matter

Doesn't seem to make a difference whether there is a space after #! or not.

get error: /bin/sh: line1: myfilter: command in boot messages...

2004-01-21 Thread Walter Tautz
specically I have a /bin/sh script in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/myfilter:

#! /bin/sh

iptables -X
iptables -F


iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --destination-port telnet -j REJECT



which DOES work. I wonder why it's complaining about the line #! /bin/sh
during the boot messages. Note no such output is in dmesg.

NOTE if I take it out it completely fails...

Q. Should one mirror debian.security.org? Good or Bad Idea?

2003-12-09 Thread Walter Tautz
just wondering if this would be a good idea. We currently have
>80 machines that do an update once a day on this host so
I think it may be a good idea to mirror the archive locally, say
once a day via rsync?
