This will not work if you don't have './' in your path....and generally speaking you should not have './' in the path. Do what the book tells you and execute '/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables start' else you are calling the iptables binary in /sbin, and start is an invalid argument. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
