iptables & variables

Hello world,

well I'm doing iptables rules and I have a problem to specify several
ip adresses in a destination.

I've tried something like this but unsuccessfull.

INTDESTIP="10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2,10.0.0.3"

for IP in $INTDESTIP
do

/sbin/iptables -a OUTPUT -d $IP -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -J
ACCEPT

done

And the script doesn't substitute well the $IP variable by the good
values.

The more surprising is that with several ports in a variable it rus
without problem.

Can you help me ?

Sgranocchiando il cranio di toto19, vi trovai inciso:


> INTDESTIP="10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2,10.0.0.3"

try writing this as

INTDESTIP="10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3"

This has nothing to do with iptables. It's sh (bash) scripting.

A comma (",") is not an appropriate word delimiter. See the IFS special
variable in "man bash". You *could* set it in $IFS, but ... don't. You
would break too many other things.
