Question: By turning off iptables, aren't you also shutting off all YDL
security and defenses comprising firewalls?
I'm not all sure this is a good thing unless you have other protection
such as a hardware firewall like the Stingray firewall, where ever you
use your powerbook while running YDL. Since I'm raising the security
issue, you should consider that running OS X within MOL will not allow
OS X to protect your powerbook either. OS X will defend itself (if
it's firewall is up), as it would run within MOL; this means it would
defend itself within that the functions of the Mac OS. However, it
will not be able to protect YDL which surrounds it. Not allowing YDL
to run it's iptables (which comprises it's firewalls) you are leaving
your entire system exposed. I'm surprised others have not raised this
as a potential problem to consider carefully.
I'm merely expressing concern. There is a lot of information on the
net regarding iptables, firewalls and security. Here's one link
regarding one discussion you may care to consider:

Hi. I am fairly new to linux, and have been trying to configure my
installation properly. I have a powerbook g4. I got the sound working
properly. I want to make a script that will perform the following
tasks when run :
unmount my osx drive (must be root)
stop the iptables service
run mol.
I can create a script... but how do I perform commands that you must
be root to accomplish?
Thanks
Brendan
