The backslash character '\' is a line continuation character. If you are entering the above from a command line, then it should be all on the same line, without the continuation character. If you are entering it from a script, and it won't all fit on one line, then it should read something like: /sbin/iptables -D POSTROUTING -t nat -s \ 192.168.0.0/24 -d ! 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
