Iptables Question

[Waqas Toor]

Hello Ubuntuers,

i have written a script to setup a firewall for me

the script is
====================================
#! /bin/bash

#blocking every thing

/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p all -j DROP
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -p all -j DROP

#allowing only my MACs

for MAC in `cat ./macclist`
do
        /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source $MAC -p all -j ACCEPT
        /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source $MAC -j ACCEPT
done



================================

now the problem is that dhcp wont assign the ips to those Macs that i
have allowed from the list ....
do i have to check the OUTPUT chain as welll ???

point out where i am wrong ??

Thanks
