Iptables - Couldn't load target `ACCPET':/lib/iptables/libipt_ACCPET.so:
 

I have got a problem with my iptables. Setting this firewall up is a part of a school project. Problem is everything worked when i left the machine last week, now when i try to start iptables i get this message:

iptables: Chain already exists
iptables v1.2.6a: Couldn't load target `ACCPET':/lib/iptables/libipt_ACCPET.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.


As far as i know, noone have had access to the machine through the weekend as the school have been closed, so i got no idea what happend or what to do to fix this, my iptables script looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

Re: Iptables - Couldn't load target `ACCPET':/lib/iptables/libipt_ACCPET.so:
 

iptables: Chain already exists
Might need to add flush rules at the beginning in case you already have some rules defined when you run the script.

iptables v1.2.6a: Couldn't load target `ACCPET':/lib/iptables/libipt_ACCPET.so:
There's your hint, look how ACCEPT is spelled in the above error message (or miss-spelled in this case)

Hope that helps.
