Hm, so.... We have two articles: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/dynamic-iptables-firewalls.xml http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/dynfw.xml First one links to second, where's link to that tarball: http://tirpitz.iat.sfu.ca/~robbat2/dynfw-1.0.1.tar.gz In it we have described in the article set of scripts and one to install them all, "install.sh" In it there's line: chown 0.0 ${PREFIX}/sbin/${x} Which for me should be changed to: chown 0:0 ${PREFIX}/sbin/${x} (colon instead of dot in a chown parameter) My proposition of fixing it is: Confirm a bug with some bash hackers (we have some in team i believe), then fix it and also host a fixed tar file locally, not outside of gentoo.org. Then there also needs to be changed link to in in the article. That's all, waiting comments.
Yeah, chown x.y was accepted earlier. Now it gives : trinity ~ # chown shyam.users test.c chown: `shyam.users' syntax is obsolete; use `:' since this will be removed in the future Which means, it'll still work....but we don't know for how long.
Fixed in CVS, added updated tar.bz2 and updated the article and the dynfw.xml in /proj/en. Thanks for reporting!
