The cheep and dirty solution if your on a redhat/fedora setup would be
to add the command to your /etc/rc.local file so its executed last on
boot. I end up using that type of fix to add network routes for vpn as
its easier than the right way which someone on here will point out
given enough time.<br>
<br>
One problem with doing it in the rc.local is you would be vulnerable
during the bootup from the time your network card(s) are active till
the end of the boot. Small window but... <br>

I solved the problem using:
iptables-restore /etc/sysconfig/iptables
I don't know if this will survive a reboot yet, but I'm not open at least.
Could someone tell me how to make sure the rules are loaded at boot?
Thanks

I had some help today to configure iptables with a new rule.
I was using a bastille script, so they disabled bastille from startup
and converted the
rules using Webmin "linux firewall" module and added the rule I needed.
After a reboot just a few moments ago...
/[root@courier2 billl]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination/
I apparently have NO firewall.
Please help.
Bill
