Linux firewall setup error

Submitted by sgrayban on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 09:20

I setup the Linux firewall using the hosting solution and now I get a error:

Unknown IPtables save file line : *

The first few lines are.......

# Generated by webmin
*
:INPUT DROP [0:0]
Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Looks like my code doesn't handle the case where no tables exist yet.

The work-around is to run :

iptables-save >/etc/xxx

where /etc/xxx is the save file shown on the Linux Firewall page at the top, probably /etc/iptables.up.rules

A proper fix will be in the next Webmin release.
