Bug in ipchains... or is it...
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I was just updating my firewall and created this nice script to do it for
me (based on the ipmasq scripts). For readability I used a lot of
variables and the long options (--add --source --destination etc etc)
However, these long options do NOT work...
/sbin/ipchains --add --> unrecognized option '--add'
/sbin/ipchains -A --> option requires an argument (ok)
None of the long options work:
--add
--source
--destination
even though 'ipchains --help or -h both do work and provide both the long
and the short options in the help screen...
Is this a known bug/problem... is someone working on it...
In the meantime i'll just update my script... but still
This was using ipchains version 'ipchains 1.3.9, 17-Mar-1999'
on a potato box (updated daily)
