There is a section there that sets up a file called firewall.sh i've emerged iptables, but I don't have a file by that name on the system, and it seems that running "/etc/init.d/iptables save" writes this file as /var/lib/iptables/rules-save. Is there a specific directory where this file should be written so that running "/etc/init.d/iptables save" can see it? Or can the rules-save file be edited and re-written? (It seems as though running "/etc/init.d/iptables save" would just over-write rules-save). Thanks for the input. John D -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
