Re: ipchains rules deleted after reset!!!

[Kevin Druet]

the easiest way to do this is simply add the rules to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file   Our client servers we use a file called rc.firewall wich resides in /etc then we create a file called firewall wich looks somthing like this, (this is off the top of my head so may have bug)   #!/bin/sh # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions   # See how we were called. case "$1" in   start)         /etc/rc.firewall         echo "Firewall Started"         ;;   stop)         ipchains -F         echo "Firewall Shut Down"         ;;   reload)         ipchains -F         /etc/rc.firewall         echo "Firewall Reloaded"         ;;   *)         echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|reload}"         exit 1 esac exit 0 this file resides in /etc/rc.d/init.d  we then make sure that it is +x chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall and then snap a link to it into the rc3.d runlevel to have it start on boot,   ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S91firewall   now on boot, the system will load the firewall, and you are able to stop and restart as well.   the only file you ever need to edit is the rc.firewall file   I hope this helps ----- Original Message ----- From: Nikolaus Franz To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2001 11:21 AM Subject: ipchains rules deleted after reset!!! hello, can somebody help me. i install some ipchains rules, but always on server reset they are deleted how can i fix the rules permanent thanks a lot niko
