Title: Restarting firewall in V5.6
Post by: Michiel on February 04, 2003, 02:24:00 PM

Hi,

What is the correct way to reload the firewall rules in SME 5.6? When I issue "/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq restart" I get all kinds of nasty error messages:

>>> SNIP <<<
Shutting down IP masquerade and firewall rules:      Done!

Enabling IP masquerading: /etc/init.d/masq: /usr/sbin/ipmasqadm: No such file or directory
modprobe: Can't locate module ip_masq_portfw
/etc/init.d/masq: /sbin/ipchains: No such file or directory
/etc/init.d/masq: /sbin/ipchains: No such file or directory
done
>>> SNIP <<<

After rebooting everything works as expected, but there should be a more elegant way, I suppose.

Regards,
Michiel

I think you have some old contribs using ipchains instead of iptable.
Ipchains is for 2.2.X kernels and iptable is for 2.4.X kernels.

Check out your ipforward contribs.

Bye.

You're right. The dmc-mitel-portopening and dmc-mitel-portforward contributions dont seem to know about iptables. I should have known better...

Thanks,
