I'm trying to insert multiple new lines of text into an iptables script using sed in a while loop. I'm not sure if this is the most effective way. Searching the forums has helped me come up with a good beginning but it's not 100%. I'd like it to search out a unique line in my current iptables file and add new rules above it. The problem now is that it only ends up inserting one new line instead of the 20 it should (based on the $BOGON_LIST).
The $BOGON_LIST is a file with ip addresses on a line by themselves like so:
IP
IP
IP
I suppose this is a silly newbie Q, but I have a set of text I am inserting into a file using a sed cmd and before I insert, I want to ask the sed operation to move to add a carriage return first, and then place my new line.
Is there scope within the sed command to do this - i have tried "\n"... (6 Replies)

I have tried to develop a sed script that inserts date and time in the third field in the first and second row below. The third row is an example and it shows where the date and time should be inserted. The script should check if the row already has date and time in the third field and if it... (2 Replies)

iptables-xml
IPTABLES-XML(1) iptables 1.4.21 IPTABLES-XML(1)NAME
iptables-xml -- Convert iptables-save format to XML
SYNOPSIS
iptables-xml [-c] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
iptables-xml is used to convert the output of iptables-save into an easily manipulatable XML format to STDOUT. Use I/O-redirection pro-
vided by your shell to write to a file.
-c, --combine
combine consecutive rules with the same matches but different targets. iptables does not currently support more than one target per
match, so this simulates that by collecting the targets from consecutive iptables rules into one action tag, but only when the rule
matches are identical. Terminating actions like RETURN, DROP, ACCEPT and QUEUE are not combined with subsequent targets.
-v, --verbose
Output xml comments containing the iptables line from which the XML is derived
iptables-xml does a mechanistic conversion to a very expressive xml format; the only semantic considerations are for -g and -j targets in
order to discriminate between <call> <goto> and <nane-of-target> as it helps xml processing scripts if they can tell the difference between
a target like SNAT and another chain.
Some sample output is:
<iptables-rules>
<table name="mangle">
<chain name="PREROUTING" policy="ACCEPT" packet-count="63436" byte-count="7137573">
<rule>
<conditions>
<match>
<p>tcp</p>
</match>
<tcp>
<sport>8443</sport>
</tcp>
</conditions>
<actions>
<call>
<check_ip/>
</call>
<ACCEPT/>
</actions>
</rule>
</chain>
</table> </iptables-rules>
Conversion from XML to iptables-save format may be done using the iptables.xslt script and xsltproc, or a custom program using libxsltproc
or similar; in this fashion:
xsltproc iptables.xslt my-iptables.xml | iptables-restore
