[Voyage-linux] Question - iptables cannot remove a rule ("bad rule" error) - possible bug?

Hi Punky,
 
 Yes, that's working. But the other way should be working too and is working on other systems. It's also in man pages of iptables:
 
 -D, --delete chain rule-specification -D, --delete chain rulenum Delete one or more rules from the selected chain. There are two versions of this command: the rule can be specified as a number in the chain (starting at 1 for the first rule) or a rule to match. How can I use Shorewall on Voyage linux then? I don't think, that I can somehow force Shorewall to use rule numbers instead of rule specification...

 Hi Lukas,
 
 You need to put a rule number when delete a rule, see iptables -h
 
 iptables -D chain rulenum [options]
