Hello, I recently upgraded one machine to the 2.4.5 kernel from the 2.2 series. As it's running now, I have an iptables script which sets up my NAT and filtering rules. I was rather proud of myself having gotten my script to work fine on the first try, but I'm not sure what's the clean Debian Way to do things.
Now, I have cooked my own /etc/init.d/iptables which simply executes the script that I have placed in /etc/iptables. Another way I considered would be to mimc the /etc/init.d/ipchains script that comes in the ipchains package, with something like s/ipchains-\(save|restore\)/iptables-\1/ . I wasn't sure on the state of those functions, so I didn't do so yet, but by now I started thinking there should be a clean Debian Way to do it. How do others load their firewall rulesets? If there's an obvious answer (an "automatic" way I just missed) that would be great, otherwise I'd like to hear about your own personal setups. Thanks, Vineet
