I am showing my newbie status.  Maybe I meant chain names?  Here is a
snippet I use to enable and disable ssh, with SSH being a table?chain?
name I can use in another script:

iptables -N SSH
iptables -A SSH -j LOG --log-prefix 'IPT: SSH: '
iptables -A SSH -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT-TCP -p TCP -m multiport --dports ssh -j SSH

I knew I didn't know a lot about iptables -- it looks like I knew even
less than I thought!
