Where should this firewall script be placed?

wardialer · 02-12-2005, 12:12 AM

cd /home/username/documents

./iptables.txt

sh example.txt

service iptables save

reboot

Is this OK or not????

If this is not OK, then I dont know what to do. I dont know what to say beyond this point...

I save it in /home/myusername/documents/firewall

The firewall is a Shell Script type. What do I have to do now??? Please give all the commands one-by-one. In order.

wardialer · 02-12-2005, 12:16 AM

Do I put: ./firewall ???? ./firewall.txt ???? or sh firewall????

Thats what I want to find out. Why is this complicated for gods sake.

I think it would be easier if you List the commands like from 1. to 10. in order in what to do. Please. I would like to finish this up

if the the script is named "firewall" and is in the "/home/myusername/documents" directory then what you need to do would look like this:

Code:

cd /home/myusername/documents

chmod +x firewall

./firewall

service iptables save

reboot

you need to use the name of the file... if the file is called "firewall.txt" then you use "./firewall.txt", if it's called "firewall" then you use "./firewall", if it's called "BARNEY-THE-PURPLE-DINOSAUR.sex" then you do "./BARNEY-THE-PURPLE-DINOSAUR.sex".. get it??

wardialer · 02-12-2005, 12:21 AM

But the firewall file is a Shell Script for some reason. So what command should I do??? Should I use the command like this below EVEN if its a Shell Script???

Code:

d /home/myusername/documents

chmod +x firewall

./firewall

service iptables save

reboot

win32sux · 02-12-2005, 12:24 AM

why not??

wardialer · 02-12-2005, 12:25 AM

I did this:

cd /home/username/documents/ ENTER

No such file or directory.

Should I do it the long way or what??? Why its giving me No such File or Directory??? IAM STILL LOST I AM SORRY.

WHY IS THIS COMMAND NOT WORKING????? AM I DOING IT WRONG OR SHOULD I DO IT THE LONG WAY LIKE THIS:

d /home/myusername/documents chmod +x firewall ./firewall

service iptables save

reboot

try "Documents" instead of "documents"...

win32sux · 02-12-2005, 12:30 AM

this is from one of your previous posts:

drwxrw---- 14 vin001 vin001 4096 Feb 11 13:55 Documents/

you don't have a directory named "documents", you have one called "Documents"... it's NOT the same thing...

Heres what it gave me after the ./firewall:

that's because you need to be root when you execute the script...

wardialer · 02-12-2005, 12:33 AM

Do I need to an 'su' before this whole command I just did???

I SERIOUSLY GETTING REALLY FRUSTERATED HERE.

yes, you need to be root to execute that kinda script... it would be ridiculous if any user on the system could succesfully execute a firewall script, don't you think??

wardialer · 02-12-2005, 12:35 AM

What I mean do I have to an 'su' BEFORE the whole command you gave me or part of the command do I need to an 'su'????
