Haven't seen another like it. The other posters are right though, there are syntax issues. Near the top where you are bringing in EOF there is a space between the "less-than" signs that should not be there. Also, the "icmp" directives give a syntax error. Looks like you were trying to just allow ping but anyway... here are the two lines I substituted there instead: add allow icmp from any to any in add allow icmp from any to any out Cheers, -- Aaron I like the style of your script.

I get "Ambiguous output redirect." from the script :-( I’m presuming firewal_script=”/etc/firewall.sh” is a typo?

I get “Ambiguous output redirect.” from the script :-(

Keep in mind, the script may take a bit of tuning for a different machine, so there might need to be a bit of work put into it. Hey there,
