You dont say what distro you have, this makes all the differance, different
distro's do this sort of thing in different ways.
However there is a way it can be done on all systems.
Create a file called rc.firewall place it in /etc/rc.d
Place on the first line
#!/bin/sh
add all the lines to this file you would add on the command line, one
command per line.
close the file and do;
chmod a+x rc.firewall
edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and place the following at the bottom.
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall ]; then
. /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
else
echo "rc.firewall is not execacutable"
fi
If you dont want to apply firewalling at boottime simply do;
chmod a-x /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
