Subject: Preferred way of preserving firewall rules on system reboots?
Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 09:48:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40A38ABF.4090907@pbl.ca> (raw)
What is your preferred way of preserving firewall configuration on
firewall reboots? I know this is probably distribution specific.
On Red Hat, you can either edit /etc/init.d/iptables or
/etc/sysconfig/iptables. The former can be overwritten when upgrading
iptables package, the later can be overwritten with some temporary
configuration on system reboots (depending on configuraiton) or when
somebody calls init.d script with "save" argument by mistake (making it
"machine generated file", while it should be "administrator generated
configuration file").
So, the question is, how do you usually do it?
