Why don't you just clear the iptables and then save them with: /etc/init.d/iptables save active ? The instructions are in /etc/default/iptables. Here's what I did: I wrote an iptables script and saved it in root's home directory, and when I want to change the iptables rules, I modify the script, run it, and then do: /etc/init.d/iptables save active Elizabeth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
