I want to shutdown my ipcop firewall at 11 at night when the teens are to be
in bed and start it up the next morning. The web site says I should be able
to put in a cron job that would have the following lines....
0 23 * * * /sbin/ipchains -I ethernetout 1 -i eth1 -j DENY
0 23 * * * /sbin/ipchains -I ethernetin 1 -i eth1 -j DENY
0 6 * * * /sbin/ipchains -D ethernetout 1 -i eth1
0 6 * * * /sbin/ipchains -D ethernetin 1 -i eth1
When I type the /sbin/ipchains part of the listings in at the command prompt
I first get the error "ethernetout chain name too long must be 8 characters
or less"
I change the name to etherout and run the command again and get the error "no
target by that name".
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong??
