Iptables Error..

Whats up,

Im running redhat 7.2 kernel 2.4.18 and iptables 1.2.6a... I have been trying to get my iptables going but when linux starts up i get an error meassage "etc/rc3.d/s08iptables: line 172: syntax error: unexpected end of file" And then when i go to etc/rc3.d/s08iptables line 172 there is nothing on that line (im using mc and pico as my text editors)Here is what the last couple lines look like....


echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|condrestart|status|panic|save|
exit 1
"line 169"# esac
"line 170"
"line 171" exit 0

Look for spaces , and delete empty lines it may affect and cause such error.
