Firewall-2.4 on Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0
Hello All,
I am at my wit's end and need some help. I am running thje firewall-2.4 stroger script on Redhat 7.3 currently with no problem (http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch...l-2.4-stronger) I just got a copy of redhat enterprise Linuux 3.0 and I am trying to replace the 7.3 box with rhel 3.0 . Now here is the confusion, I cannot seem to run this same script on rhel 3.0. When i try running it manually from command line, I get the error: [root@mybox root]# ./firewall.iptables : bad interpreter: No such file or directory When I place the script in the /etc/rc.d/init.d folder and create the appropriate links to the runlevels I want and boot up I get this error instead: execvp: nosuch file or directory As you can see from the script, it has the apropriate path to sh (i.e. #!/bin/sh).The bad Interprator seems to indicate it cannot find the sh or bash shell or something. Which is really weird because it works without a hitch on Redhat 7.3. I have read various posts about this problem but could not find a conclusive fix for it . I found some hints that seem to indicate the execvp error is created by the /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions script but again no definite fix. I am desperate and any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Kofi. |
Prove where sh is...
which sh Then make sure all the other programs are where they are in the script. iptables would only be in /usr/local/sbin/ if it was built from sources rather than an rpm.. Do iptables-save to see how much of the script has run. It can give a clue on where it's dying.. Also do /etc/init.d/iptables clear to reset the firewall to open and ACCEPT Make sure iptables isn't being run at any runlevel or it will clear your firewall.. |
execvp: No such file or directory
Thanks for your response. I did the which sh and it is in the right place. /bin/sh. The script doesnt even run, it fails. I posted this problem on bugzilla.redhat.com and I got this response back which does not make sense because as I mentioned the same script works on redhat 7.3 with no issues.
This is what I got from redhat: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla....cgi?id=127275 Its almost like it can's run a shell script. Help .. Please..... |
check the file for crlf line endings, if the first line #!/bin/sh ends in crlf that is the error you will get
