Easiest way to save IPTABLES is as follows: Run your IPTables script once. Then - run service iptables save. This saves the rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables (with the iptables-save command). Then chkconfig iptables on. Now iptable starts when other services start during runlevels 2-5 and you didn't just reinvent Red Hat's wheel :-) - -Rick - -- Rick Johnson, RHCE - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux/WAN Administrator - Medata, Inc.
