Thanks for your test that helped and your patience. Did this on my test machine: fw_custom_after_chain_creation() { iptables -N ipINacc iptables -A ipINacc -p tcp -s 7.7.7.7 -d 0/0 iptables -I INPUT 1 -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j ipINacc true } And it worked on my test machine that normally does not run the firewall so it hardly had any rules. And as you can see I create my own chains. On the server with the problem I have this: fw_custom_after_chain_creation() { /usr/local/bin/ipRules status=$? iptables -L -n if [ $status = 0 ] ; then true else false fi } That -L shows my rules were added. /usr/local/bin/ipRules has this: /etc/init.d/ip_block start /etc/init.d/ip_fw start /etc/init.d/ip_accept start For simplification the status capturing and returning it is not shown. Thanks for pointing out this is not a bug. I will dig deeper. It's just confusing, the rules are there while it's executing and then they're gone when it's completed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
