you should start by looking at /etc/init.d/iptables

this uses iptables-save and iptables-restore and saves rules in
/etc/sysconfig/iptables

if you're lucky the sysconfig file is already populated and you can just
manipulate it directly, otherwise perhaps the easiest way would be to start
the firewall, then do `/etc/init.d/iptables save`, you should then be able
to edit the sysconfig file as you like and restart the firewall from this
file... provided you're not locked out in the mean time ;)

I dont doubt that shorewall is a good product for this.
But I would prefer to simply edit the native files.
Is this possible?

Kind regards
