iptables & httpd
 

Has anyone setup any type of perl script for web configuration of iptables. Everything I try errors out, I think its a permission thing but when I run the scripts by command line with the -c option it states the sintax is ok.

If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Larry

What exactly are you wanting to do, or what doesn't work?

Exec
 

I was trying to execute a command from a perl script, like

system ("/sbin/iptables -F FORWARD)";

somthing like that. I would like to run a few other things but thats the main problem I'm having.

Thanks
Larry

Syntax
 

Sorry the command should be:

system ("/sbin/iptables -F FORWARD");

not

system ("/sbin/iptables -F FORWARD)";

Thanks
