I can guarantee that what you're doing is the wrong way to set up a firewall at boot time, in any distro with which I am familiar. Check your distro's documentation about "firewall" or "iptables" and find out the right way to do it. > rc.local. What things do I have to do for it to take the iptables > rules in it? I did an iptables -L but no rules were present. rc.local, like other startup scripts, is a shell script. Do learn what that means; I cannot help you unless you know what can/should be in a script. Perhaps your time would be best spent at this point in finding some basic bash and shell tutorials. I will throw in a WAG, however: your "script" might have been a set of rules for iptables-restore(8). -- mail to this address is discarded unless "/dev/rob0" or "not-spam" is in Subject: header
