That seems to be the default, but I wonder for how long. I don't think I changed my setup. /etc/init.d/iptables sources /etc/default/iptables, which has some enlightening remarks: # Q: You concocted this init.d setup, but you do not like it? # A: I was pretty much hounded into providing it. I do not like it. # Don't use it. Use /etc/network/interfaces, use /etc/network/*.d/ # scripts use /etc/ppp/ip-*.d/ script. Create your own custom # init.d script -- no need to even name it iptables. Use ferm, # ipmasq, ipmenu, guarddog, firestarter, or one of the many other # firewall configuration tools available. Do not use the init.d # script.

So yes, it may work, but no, it does not seem like the best solution. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] "Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning." - Winston Churchill -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
