iptables-restore under f18

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hello! I set up my iptables in fedora 18, saved them to "/etc/iptables.save" and wanted to add the "iptables-restore" command in /etc/rc.local... Well the file doesn't exist anymore under that path - where can I now put this restore-command so that my iptables are being loaded with every boot - preferable before network starts. greets hobert (HowTos)

Stories similar to iptables-restore under f18

iptables not starting up 35 weeks 1 day ago

I have inherited a custom built Linux kernel 2.6.30.9 and am just upgrading the underlying OS from RHEL 5.4 to 5.8 (kernels 2.6.18.164 and 2.6.18.308 respectively).

When booting, the following is displayed:

unloading iptables modules [ OK ] Applying iptables firewall rules: modprobe: FATAL: module ip-tables not found.

iptables-restore v1.3.5: iptables-restore unable to init

Don't worry.I don't want to be rude, but: Have you tried to turn it off and on again?Iptables rules are volatile unless you save them and set your system to "iptables-restore" at boot.BTW your *nat and *filter tables are empty and set to ACCEPT: they aren't doing a thing.Here is a picture that will help you understand the order in which they are traversedhttp://www.faqs.or

I want to create the logging of iptables DROP's and intrusion attemps.

First, I put --log-prefix "iptables: " at the end of every iptables rules in my iptables rules file. But this doesn't work, as it says there is a syntax error. So where should I put that command?

Hi could could anyone help me understand why line 15 is failing supposedly in my iptables file.

I currently have my OUTPUT chain set to DROP. I'd like to change it to REJECT, so that I have a clue that it's my firewall stopping me from getting somewhere rather than a problem with whatever service I'm attempting to access (immediate reject instead of timing out). However, iptables doesn't seem to care for this.

Hello

I have looked at the manuls and googled for a specific Fedora 16 answer with no luck.

I keep trying to find the right spot to place a iptables command to reload my firewall rules but I can't find any reference.

I am seting up a Centos 5.6 sever. I yum installed webmin successfully,and then I followed webmin's document to add "-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT"  to /etc/sysconfig/iptables ,but when I /etc/init.d/iptables restart. I get

 

Applying iptables firewall rules: iptables-restore: line 1 failed

Any idea?

I'd like to forward port 80 to 8080. So I tried to edit /etc/syscongfig/iptables:

-A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

But got:

# service iptables restart iptables: Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ] iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK

Had a strange issue this morning.
