Most traditional RedHat uses a file in /etc/sysconfig to specifly such things. In particular, iptables-config has: # Save current firewall rules on stop. # Value: yes|no, default: no # Saves all firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables if firewall gets stopped # (e.g. on system shutdown). IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_STOP="yes" # Save current firewall rules on restart. # Value: yes|no, default: no # Saves all firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables if firewall gets # restarted. IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_RESTART="yes" There's a pile of other options in the file as well. > What is the best way to create firewall rules on the new OS and keep > them persisted? By playing with these, you can make basic rules, then just restart to save them. I typically make a backup to the startup file just in case it gets lost. -- =^_^= Tigerwolf _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
