| Subject: | Make test fails if no iptables rules have been defined prior |
make test throws errors such as:
Use of uninitialized value in <HANDLE> at
/usr/src/IPTables-IPv4-0.98/blib/lib/IPTables/IPv4/Toplevel.pm line 50.
readline() on unopened filehandle at
/usr/src/IPTables-IPv4-0.98/blib/lib/IPTables/IPv4/Toplevel.pm line 50.
This is caused by trying to read /proc/net/ip_tables_names, etc.
Creating blank rules with the following commands resolved my issue and
allowed for a make test.
#FLUSH EVERYTHING
/sbin/iptables -t filter -F INPUT
/sbin/iptables -t filter -F OUTPUT
/sbin/iptables -t filter -F FORWARD
/sbin/iptables -t nat -F PREROUTING
/sbin/iptables -t nat -F OUTPUT
/sbin/iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
/sbin/iptables -t mangle -F PREROUTING
/sbin/iptables -t mangle -F OUTPUT
#DEFAULT RULES
/sbin/iptables -t filter -P INPUT ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -t filter -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -t filter -P FORWARD DROP
