13:40.40gr0undhogHi Peoples - I've been having a brain re-orienting session trying to finalise a firewall, a la Debian. I'm unsure of the "iptables-save" protocol (as in a howto by Chris Mortimore on the Debian forum). I have the rules set up and showing in my root terminal. I'm aware that the "save" mentioned sends it to some sort of system memory from which the rules can be restored, but I want to save them to a self-created folder/director
14:43.46yaMattis this ufw?
14:44.08yaMattif it's iptables rules I'm guessing not
15:34.13morsinggr0undhog: They save into /etc/firewall

22:12.31ChoHaggr0undhog: iptables-save will print the ruleset which is active to stdout. iptables-restore will read a ruleset from stdin and activate it.

22:13.20ChoHagSomething in the startup sequence will run iptables-restore (if it doesn't have some magic firewall creation application instead). I've no idea where it'll look for its input file.
22:14.27ChoHagI don't think stock Debian has a startup firewall script. I just read from a heredoc in /etc/rc.local
22:14.58ChoHagiptables-restore <<EOF4
22:15.04ChoHag<the output from a previous iptables-save>
22:15.05ChoHagEOF4
22:15.55ChoHagrc.local is always last in the startup sequence and iptables-restore will blat away anything any previous startup script has done.
22:16.24ChoHagThe only thing left to possible trample on it is the Network Mangler.
