[SOLVED] iptables: no chain/target/match by that name

raducu1605 · 03-29-2011, 03:32 AM

I'm getting this error when running ./rc.firewall (Fedora 13)

RC.FIREWALL is very simple as follows:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
IPTABLES="sbin/iptables"
MODPROBE="/sbin/modprobe"

LOG_LEVEL="notice"
LOGGING="yes"

logger -p local6.$LOG_LEVEL -t firewall "Starting firewall ..."

$MODPROBE ip_conntrack_ftp
$MODPROBE ipt_LOG

$IPTABLES -F
$IPTABLES -X
$IPTABLES -Z

$IPTABLES -P INPUT DROP
$IPTABLES -P OUTPUT DROP
$IPTABLES -P FORWARD DROP

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT

pls, help

Just run

Code:

iptables -L

which should show you which tables/chains are avail on F13.

Also, I'd amend

Code:

IPTABLES="sbin/iptables"

# to this
IPTABLES="/sbin/iptables"

Try running "bash -x rc.firewall" which will let you see which
line in the script is causing the problem. Post the output if
you can't figure out what is happening.

Also, it's better to use variables that are not all in caps. Those are reserved for enviornment variables.
