enexpected EOF problem
Although I have only used vi to edit a file, I keep getting this when I execute it: /etc/iptables.sh: line 247: syntax error: unexpected end of file I don't see anything there that could be causing the problem. Is there a way to see and remove whatever character is doing this? thanks -- Andrew

That might be what's happening, usually safest to always make sure you have a blank line at the end of the file. If that's not the problem then you could start vi with the -b option, that should show any non-printable characters in the file (I think).
