 Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2011 12:05 am Post subject: [SOLVED] iptables Won't Start Automatically |
 |
|
Hello everyone,
I wrote a script to setup my iptables. At the end, as per the wiki, I have;
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/iptables save
rc-update add iptables boot
|
When I run the script, all the rules therein load as expected. I can start and stop iptables no problem and it works as expected.
However, whenever I reboot and run
| Code: |
/sbin/iptables -L -v
|
all I get is the default policy set i.e. all 3 main chains have been set to ACCEPT. All my rules seem to have disappeared.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm sure it must be something simple - but clearly too simple for me to figure out!
thanks

| Does the initscript print any error messages when it runs during boot? |

No. In fact, I get the following message;
| Code: |
Loading iptables state and starting firewall... [ok]
|
Clearly then, it's a question of the rules not being saved for some reason. Everything else is working fine. |

It's working now.
All I did was log in as root, run my script and reboot. Strange. Didn't seem happy to save under sudo.
Thanks for input anyway Hu. |
