If you have set up ipchains from the RH7.0 RPM you should be able to use the
command scripts in:
/etc/rc.d/init.d
So you can use:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains save
after you applied your manually entered chains. This will save the currently
active IPCHAINS and apply them on startup of your machine.
I personally use:
/etc/r*/*/ipchains save
and instead of only relying on this script I also have my own script, that I
ammend when I need to make changes. Then I run my script. When I am happy
with the functionality I run /etc/r*/*/ipchains save, which should bring
RH's and my firewall script in tune.
Hope this helps

Subject: [SLUG] ipchains
I have a small problem with ipchains, i can create a simple rule, apply
it, but it does not save.
how do I achieve this? I have tried ipchains-save, after a reboot (which
my g/f does a lot because she compares it to windows). even
ipchains-restore
doesn't restore it afterwards.
I am wondering if it could be anything to do with my file system,
because
on bootup it when mounting it says "couldn't find matching file system:
label=/" this seems to prohibit a disk check after a hard reboot, and
sometimes doesn't keep file permissions I have set. this problem seemed
to come around when I tried to install kernel 2.4.2 (and failed) and
when I removed my dos partition from lilo.
Is both these problems anyway linked? or have I just missed the part on
howto save a rule for ipchains, else does it need a script?
I run Redhat 7.0
Thanks for any replys, please send to this address, as I have not setup
a my work account which is on slug here yet.
Regards,
Scott
