Hi List, I'm about to start writing an iptables script for my new firewall running Debian 3.0 (up until now we've been using floppyfw... ugh). Anyway, the first place I looked was /etc/init.d/iptables and /etc/default/iptables and noticed that the package maintainer recommends _not_ using it. I'm confused, I've always found /etc/init.d/ scripts to be a great way of stopping and starting services.
Can someone suggest where I should put my iptables script and how I should stop and start it the Debian way? Do I do what the package maintainer says and "do not use it" or do I follow the other instructions in the file and use /etc/init.d/iptables save | load operations? I'm not sure where to start here. Regards, Lucas
