bad interpreter

[Taniform Asongwe]

I am new to iptables. Starting up iptables I receive
the error

: bad interpreter: No such file or directory.

I would be grateful for any ideas. Thanks in advance

How exactly are you trying to start up iptables?

Check that all the relevant files are executable.

cat -v will show the dos line-endings if you have them.

this happens when you get a script file from dos (with cr/lf eol)
the first line may look normal 

#!/bin/sh

but the CR (which remains invisible within a text editor that silently
adapts itself) is misunderstood by shell 

just edit the file using vi, then ":set ff=unix" and ":wq". this will
remove the CRs

Bien sûr que je suis perfectionniste !
Mais ne pourrais-je pas l'être mieux ?
