Actually, as far as I've been able to assertain it doesn't matter where
the actual "rules" are kept, however the executable script must be in
root's path and must be executable by root. One of the easiest ways to
learn about ipchains and how they work is to install and then study
PMfirewall from pointman.org. Get this firewall setup and running and
you will soon see how ipchains operates. It really takes the mystery out
of ipchains.
