Is it possible to include a detail about iptables-save and
iptables-restore to use the included iptables init script .. as well
than describing where to add modules (/etc/sysconfig/iptables-config)
that need to be modprobed when iptables start (like ip_conntrack_irc ,
ip_nat_ftp ... etc ...)
This way it will be done the 'standard' way on CentOS/Upstream ... ;-)
Thanks Fabian - I'll look at that. I ported the tutorial from a generic
one I'd written, hence I'd tried to stay away from upstream specifics,
but good point and worth adding IMHO.
I didn't cover the modprobing of additional modules simply because none
of my examples needed modules that aren't loaded by default when
iptables loads.
My intention was to provide a basic starter guide to get folks started
with manually configuring their own rules. Obviously there is so much
more that could be covered (iptables can be a never-ending topic), I
would say that if anyone wants to build upon my contribution and add
further examples, then yes it would be useful to pick examples that
allow for modprobing of additional modules to be covered. I guess that's
my way of politely saying I don't have the time to significantly expand
on what I've contributed, but I would be more than happy if others wish
too do so :)
