or I've seen this: #!/sbin/runscript
This is only for init scripts in /etc/init.d/. So no, don't use this...use #!/bin/bash instead.
/usr/local/bin/ might be appropriate too?
Yeah, that would work also...
So my (edited) scipt issues new iptables commands and the gentoo script converts these commands into rulesets and stores them in /var/lib/iptables/rules-save?
Yep.
4. run "/etc/init.d/iptables save" convert (new) script based commands into rulesets and load . 5. Test the (new) scipt {rulesets}. 6. Go to step 3 and repeat until a wonderful firewall results. Note, step 4 can be added to the end of my-firewall.sh to combine steps 3 and 4?
If you like. But in fact step 4 can be moved to step 7 (er, step 6 once you renumber stuff), since you don't really need to save anything until you are happy with the results. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
