OK, this is how gentoo does it. Start /etc/init.d/iptables and use the iptables command to make your rules. Your rules are saved in /var/lib/iptables/rules-save. Here's my /etc/conf.d/iptables: # Location in which iptables initscript will save set rules on # service shutdown IPTABLES_SAVE="/var/lib/iptables/rules-save" # Change to "yes" to enable forwarding support in the kernel. Please # note that this will override any setting placed in /etc/sysctl.conf. ENABLE_FORWARDING_IPv4="yes" ENABLE_FORWARDING_IPv6="no" #Options to pass to iptables-save and iptables-restore SAVE_RESTORE_OPTIONS="-c" Peter -- Gentoo-1.4.2.8 Unstable.
