iptables - most easy way to find rule and remove it?
I have situation where I have rules in iptables with comments. Now... I can for example enter rule like "iptables -A FORWARD -s xxx -j ACCEPT" and delete it with "iptables -D FORWARD -s xxx -j ACCEPT".. but if that rule contain some random comment (-m comment) then ... ? I can find with scripting --line-numbers and remove line number, but there is race thing if something is inserted with "-I" meanwhile.... Anyone cares to suggest something?

See if this helps, you can edit the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file, vi the file and remove the rules you don't need.

Save the file and don't forget to do "service iptables restart" Smilie.

this is slackware.. Smilie no such file exists... and iptables cannot just be restarted Smilie also it's not what I need.. I need to do it on-fly ... as this is for captive portal.

iptables rule sanity check?
