Ubuntu 20 has changed location of iptables binaries
Posted: 04 Aug 2020, 03:48
Just installed on a new Ubuntu 20 desktop. It turns out that Ubuntu has the iptables binaries in /usr/sbin/ now instead of /sbin/ .
On installing csf with the install.sh script, it failed to pick this up and the iptables locations in the csf.conf file were left as /sbin/
When these were changed manually the perl test script still fails to locate iptables.
In the end I just put in symlinks and that seems to be OK now.
