Anyone happen to know the name of the package (debian/testing) that provides this binary? I do not have it. I'm trying to setup a firewall with two external IPs on the same NIC. I know the resulting script will manage it, but w/o /sbin/ip, it does not work. I tried creating a virtual interface manually but during an add to the postrouting chain iptables complains about ":" being in the name. What does /sbin/ip provide? In all my years of using Linux this is the first I've heard of it. I'm used to ifconfig... Thanks, Chad |

In Debian, the package is iproute. The ifconfig stuff is now the "old way." The ip utilities utilize the netfilter features of the new 2.4+ kernels and provide MANY more features. I, too, am old school, and am use to things like "route." But give "ip route show" a try. It is much more readable, and this is just a sample of the features available.

I'd also mention, as I am the Debian fwbuilder package maintainer, that there is a lil README found under /usr/share/doc/fwbuilder-ipt which addresses this lil issue as it's been = =20 mentioned several times in the past before...
