Oddly, the two usages are both within one example. It appears that the author uses "/etc/init.d/iptables" for the "save" command and "rc-service iptables" for the "start" command. Also interesting: the openrc wiki page doesn't mention rc-service at all and the examples all use "/etc/init.d/<whatever> <command>". [That's what I tend to use because it allows tab-completion.] -- Grant
