creating IPtables

i did. the contents of iptables_script is

#!/bin/sh IPT="/sbin/iptables" $IPT -P INPUT DROP $IPT -P OUTPUT ACCEPT $IPT -P FORWARD DROP $IPT -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT $IPT -t nat -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT $IPT -t nat -P OUTPUT ACCEPT $IPT -t mangle -P PREROUTING ACCEPT $IPT -t mangle -P OUTPUT ACCEPT $IPT -F $IPT -F -t nat $IPT -F -t mangle $IPT -X $IPT -X -t nat $IPT -X -t mangle $IPT -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT $IPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT $IPT -A INPUT -p TCP -i eth0 -m multiport --dports \ 21,22,25,80,110,10000 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

and i did chmod +x becasue i beleive you need that for it to have permission to execute

does "/bin/sh" exist on your install?? it should be a link to your shell...

win32sux@carly:~$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2006-07-29 17:15 /bin/sh -> bash

if not, then either make the link, or adjust the shebang (like to #!/bin/bash for example)...

i think i do?

> ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4 May 26 22:56 /bin/sh -> bash


it has different permissions or something i think?

i actually thought you were trying to get the cleanup/reset script to work, not this one... i thought you weren't gonna run this one until you were sure cron would cleanup all your chains at a certain time...

try setting the shebang to /bin/bash then...

i think something funny is going-on here, i'm just not sure what it is...

how do i set shebang to /bin/bash? whats a shebang?

by editing the text... this is a shebang: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)

change this:

#!/bin/sh

to this:

#!/bin/bash

ok i get the shebanh thing now

/bin/bash still doesnt work

i remebered stuff like this you had to set when creating a user (it was called the shell) the root user is set to /bin/bash (if that matters)

create a text file called test.sh with this content:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Testing"

make it executable:

chmod a+x test.sh

execute it like this:

./test.sh

and post the output here...

[root@vps local]# chmod a+x test.sh
[root@vps local]# ./test.sh
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

not sure what to tell you then my friend... i think you should wait a few hours to see if someone who knows what could be causing this behavior reads this thread and posts a solution... or maybe you'll figure it out on your own... but aside from that, you should probably open a new thread for this (software forum), cuz it's a completely different issue... once you have this sorted out, then we can continue with the iptables... you need to be able to execute shell scripts in order to work with iptables scripts... i hope you get this worked-out somehow... i personally don't have any ideas, though...

could this have anything to do with the enviroment variables or anything like that
i know ive had other issues with enviroment variables etc in other server problems. my VPS host did some freaky setup and aren't willing to do anything about it (im probally gonna get a new host sooner or later)

if i type in this line by line...


iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -t mangle -P PREROUTING ACCEPT
iptables -t mangle -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

iptables -F
iptables -F -t nat
iptables -F -t mangle

iptables -X
iptables -X -t nat
iptables -X -t mangle

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -p TCP -i eth0 -m multiport --dports \ 21,22,25,80,110,10000 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

would it create the same sort of affect? is there way to clear all previous rules (and test that it is)?

ok i got it to execute

it said something like

iptables: no iptable or chain with that name exists or something

my shell closed becasue the connection timed out. and all my servers are no accesable. so something happened

in about 5 minutes lets hope i can go in and investiage

is there something i should look for?

I had asked where you reside there MrSeko, and now wonder exactly what you're using there vis software and hardware. It sounds to me your basic setup is something I have never heard of, remotely contemplated, or understand in the least. I agree with win32sux, you have a problem beyond anything I've ever heard of. On my end, internet access is stupid-simple and iptables is a dream come true.
