Hi,
I to have such a script that blocks ip's after 5 'opportunist' attempts.
See below.  How do I rc-update this to default?
Cheers.

I'd dump the current rules to a file (something like /var/lib/ iptables/rules) then have that read in from /etc/conf.d/local.start. You can also have a script in /etc/conf.d/local.stop which will save the rules to a file. The advantage of this approach is that if you change rules on-the-fly the firewall rules will be preserved across restarts. If you want to have the firewall start as a separate process to local then try copying an existing init script and modifying it.


Yours,
Craig
