p.s.
I checked google, the only thing that seemed to be coming up was people not
capitalizing drop.
Thanks,

Subject: iptables:a quick question--hopefully not OT
Hello list,
I'm sorry if this is OT, but I really want to get my firewall running again,
as I don't like things being open.
I've got a quick question.
I initialize all my rules to default of drop in my iptables script, which
runs every time the computer boots.
Now, I just added a new rule and ran my script again, and I'm getting the
following message:
iptables v1.4.1.1: Couldn't load target `drop':/lib/xtables/libipt_drop.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or director
y
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
So I may clear up some confusion, drop is capitalized in my script, which
reads like this:
<snip>
echo iptables
echo configuring:
echo -=-=-=-=-=-=-=
echo flushing default rules
iptables -F INPUT
iptables -F FORWARD
iptables -F OUTPUT
iptables -F -t nat
echo setting default policies
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
</snip>
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks,
