Hi:
I am trying to setup iptables to run at startup, so I used the su - and tried chkconfig iptables on
and got this response: -su : chkconfig : command not found
I am running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS thanks

Can't really find a good link but check this out for a start. There is no chkconfig in ubuntu. http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux...ay/013512.html

Ok, this is one of my first attempts with Ubuntu, didn't know. So, then what would you recommend to do instead. The update-rc.d only works if the startup file is already there, which it is not. So how do I got about doing that? Thanks.

what was the command that you ran to start iptables at boot? it should have been:

Code:

$ sudo update-rc.d iptables defaults xx

Where "xx" is how early in the boot process you want iptables to start.

ok thanks. I used that command and iptables seems to be loading properly at boot. Thanks
