Okay, I've finally caught up with you ;-) I was confused because the error below is from the gentoo iptables init script, not from your script. > ============================== > # /etc/init.d/iptables restart > * Loading iptables state and starting firewall ... > iptables-restore v1.3.4: iptables-restore: unable to initializetable 'nat' > > Error occurred at line: 8 > Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more > information. [ !! ] > ============================== It looks like it's trying to define NAT rules, even though you don't use NAT. Maybe the old rules saved by gentoo's iptables init script included some NAT rules? Does running "/etc/init.d/iptables stop", then running your script, then running "/etc/init.d/iptables save", then "/etc/init.d/iptables start" help at all?
