Cause 1- rc.firewall is where the connection sharing stuff is 2- rc.firewall is run by rc.sysinit 3- after rc.sysinit, the initscripts are run 4- iptables initscript, when it sees a file in /etc/sysconfig/iptables, first flushes any existing rule, then sets up the rules from this file -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
