iptables on fedora 5

[Thibaut]

Hi

I modified the /etc/sysconfig/iptables to match my needs but whenever  
i restart the server, the default settings come again.
How to keep my /etc/sysconfig/iptables even if i reboot ?

still doesn't work ...
At reboot, it copies /etc/sysconfig/iptables to /etc/sysconfig/ 
iptables.save and put default values in /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Did you do the "service iptables save" after making sure that iptables had
the correct rules? The save command just saves whatever the current rules
are, not what is currently in any config file.

And remember to be root to execute de above command.

Either that, or to make sure, I always did an iptables-restore < myrulefile.

cd /etc/sysconfig/
mv iptables iptables.orig
/sbin/iptables-save > iptables
