Package: iptables Version: 1.2.11-10 Severity: wishlist Tags: security It is quite annoying that in this day and age that Debian systems do not come out of the box with a way to restore iptables rules at bootup, leaving them with a default-accept policy firewall, which is quite unacceptable for production machines.
Attached is the init script that Red Hat ships, obviously it needs changing to work with Debian systems, and I'd recommend using a FHS-compliant path such as /var/lib/iptables for storing the saved rules. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages iptables depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information
