[plug] shell script

[Rob Dunne]

Hi list,

        the following is from a script from the "Security Quick-Start
Howto". WAN_IP is not being set and the script fails

but what is wrong with it? I have tried all sorts of quotes `,",' as
well as no quote but nothing works 



[root at lycra]# WAN_IFACE="ppp0"
[root at lycra]# echo $WAN_IFACE
ppp0
[root at lycra]# WAN_IP= `/sbin/ifconfig $WAN_IFACE |grep inet |cut -d : -f 2 |cut -d \  -f 1`
bash: 130.116.4.29: command not found
[root at lycra]# echo $WAN_IP

[root at lycra]#

						bye
