Opps !! HELLLLLLLLPPPPPP !!! iptables and a clingon



HELP !!!!

I was experimenting with firewall scripts, one of which was mason, the one 
that as you use the internet it generates rules. I have since deleted all 
these scripts, read up about iptables and am happy to DIY !!!

HOWEVER a bit of mason still seems to be hanging on ....

when I connect with iptables -L showing accept on everything, (I know this is 
SO insecure, but bear with me ...)

all is OK, when I use a web browser, mail etc 
iptables -L starts comeing up with rules, I didnt put them there, I think it 
must be mason.

However the rules are no good and block my dial on demand link the next time 
I wnat to use it

I have to 
/etc/init.d/iptables reload

to clear iptables -L to accept, then its OK till I use the web !!!

I have tried everything, re-load mason, purge it etc etc

>From now on no more flashy scripts, good old text config files for me .....
Any advice on how to unscrew my system greatly appreciated ..

dave
