Lee Livezey
MemberWhen executing; "iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.test.rules" in Guv's "Harden SSH and Create Firewall" tutorial, I get this error: "iptables-restore v1.4.4: option `--log-prefix' requires n argument
Error occurred at line: 18"Anyone have the solution to this problem?

MemberBrian,
My problem was just that in line 18 of the Guvnr's script \"iptables denied: \" needs to be "\iptable denied: \". i.e. the heading we're telling --log-prefix to use needs to be within the quotes. Also, make sure you copy any of these scripts using the little source link provided in the upper right of each section.Posted 1 year ago # -
guys .. this will have affected:-
Harden the Secure Shell (SSH) & Create a Firewall
the stackscript was fine.
i've altered and tested the code in the original tutorial now (my syntax was wrong :P )
.. IT IS FINE NOW!!
Sorry for confusion. My thinking cap has been upgraded too :)
