But I found no trace about iptables being started...
I have not set rc_logger in /etc/conf.d/iptables to know if it would make a difference and can confirm that I can clearly see it on my boxen at boot time: * Loading iptables state and starting firewall ... [ ok ] Another thing to check is that it is in the default level: $ eselect rc list | grep iptables iptables default I'm not sure if it would show up, or the message be suppressed if you add it to the boot level. -- Regards, Mick
