Firewall Script Errors

Hello:

I have been trying to use Oskar Andreasson's rc.firewall script on my three
interface Linux box. I am running RedHat 7.1 (kernel 2.4.2-2). The script is
at: http://www.boingworld.com/workshops/linux/iptables-tutorial/

When I run the script, I get the following errors:
#./rc.firewall
iptables v1.2.1a: Unknown arg `--log-'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
./rc.firewall: level: command not found
iptables v1.2.1a: Unknown arg `--j-'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
./rc.firewall: ACCEPT: command not found
iptables v1.2.1a: Unknown arg `--log-level'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
./rc.firewall: DEBUG: command not found

The script definitely configures _something_ in iptables, but I am unable to
access the box remotely (via ssh) and can't ping in or out.

Any ideas what these errors are or how to resolve them? I tried Oskar
directly but have not heard from him.

Thanks.
