cron won't activate changes
Hi all.
I need to block an (internal) ip-address a few hours a day. I added
iptables -I FORWARD -s <ip-address> -j DROP to iptables. Works perfectly.
However when I add this to cron it keeps saying (cron) 'installed
succesfully'
but is won't do that job.
I added it in /etc/crontab (as root, using crontab -e) and added the line
0 23 * * * root iptables -I FORWARD -s <ip-address> -j DROP
I use kernel 2.4.18
Fooks, where am I missing the point? Why it won't edit the firewall at
23:00hrs??
Anyone?
Thanks in advance
