I'm trying to set up a proxy server on an Ubuntu Box, but my linux-fu is pretty weak and I'm stymied with an iptables issue.

I'm trying to execute this command:

iptables -A INPUT -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p tcp -m –dport 443 -j ACCEPT

The error I get back is this:

iptables v1.4.4: Couldn't load match `-dport':/lib/xtables/libipt_-dport.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

There is, in fact, no file with that name.

iptables was not installed on my machine, I did:

apt-get install iptables

to install it. Finally, here's my distro info:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04 LTS"

Any idea what's going on? If this is an obvious question, please point me to the relevant documentation; I'm kinda lost on even where to look, and Googling pulls up nothing.

Thanks!

We have bought an SSL certificate for https://www.domain.com.

Users will be accessing the domain at https://sub1.domain.com, https://sub2.domain.com, etc.

I would like to be able to redirect those subdomains, via Apache. So for instance, https://sub1.domain.com becomes https://www.domain.com/sub1.

Is this possible to do without presenting the user with a "Insecure Connection" error?

Okay folks, noob RSA question here.

I have a production server, and I've generated an rsa key there. I've then taken the public key (id_rsa.pub) and given that to github, as a deploy key I believe.

What I'm trying to do is automate a deployment script that'll run a 'git pull' on the server. However, every time I run 'git pull' it asks me for my password.

Is there any way to make it so it doesn't ask for the password every time? The specific line is:

Enter passphrase for key '~/.ssh/id_rsa': 

Am I misunderstanding something here?
