Upon compiling a set of iptables from the Red Hat Linux Firewalls book, I receive the error message: Bad argument 'P="10.0.0.5". In the IPtable script, IP="10.0.0.5" is an assigned shell variable which is stated that way in the book also. It's as if, it's not seeing the "I" but yet, if I comment the shell declaration line out, it finds a similar error at the next declaration. Weird...! Has anyone seen this before or have a clue as to what/why I'm recieving the error? I tested this on 2 different HW/OS platforms (7.2 and 7.3).....
