Hi,
When I try to run either 'route' or 'iptables' I get a 'command not
found' error message. When I go to the sbin directory and try it there I
get the same error message. When I open both "route' and 'iptables' in
vi I see a bunch of weird symbols???????. The /etc/hosts file seems to
be OK, with both localhost and my domain listed.
Brian
route and iptables are binaries, no text files. Log in as root
correctly! Either on console directly as root, or become root using su
with the proper command "su -" (see man su). Having not root login shell
but only a shell and you change directory to /sbin you have to run the
command with a leading ./ like ./route.
