Where to put ipchain-rules ?

[Arthur Chan]

Hi I am unsure where to put my ipchain rules. It is also a matter if timing. As I understand it , on booting RH : (1) init runs /etc/inittab (2)  then /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit (3) then /etc/rc.d/rc.local Then at some point in time,  init recognises the runlevel and run the links in rc(n).d   e.g. rc2.d which has got "S08ipchains" and "S08iptables". I further assumed the ascii-order the links appear in will be the order in which they are loaded. What is the best time to fire up my own ipchain rules ???  If I was running rc2.d, would a link like S09ipchains.myrules be a good time ??? The actual rules are in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains.myrules
