I guess what I am looking for is a file to check and make sure that everything with the firewall settings is starting at boot time. It seems that everything else in the firewall.sh script is starting at boot time, just not the Pyzor setting.

Very strange.

Thanks,

Scott

Scott,

Iptables is automatically loaded. You just need to save your addition to the iptables. # iptables-restore < //etc/sysconfig/iptables.save/, replace this with whatever your edited file name is.

As Scott noted below running the iptables-save once you've run the firewall.sh script will save the modified settings to the iptables too.

I had a brain fart, iptables is always started it just may be empty and not block anything. Running the firewall script populates the iptables.

I don't think it is in the init scripts, or it would remain after a reboot. How does one check the init scripts, please?

Thanks!

That's presuming that it is in the init scripts.  Ignore this moment of
stupidity.

What is the proper way to add a rule to the firewall that will
survive a reboot of the QMT server?

When I installed Pyzor onto my server, I had to open a hole in the
firewall in order for it to work properly.  I did this by adding the
rule to the firewall.sh script.  Now, when the server reboots, I have
to run the firewall.sh script to open that port back up.  Here is
what I put in the firewall.sh script:

## Allow pyzor communications (port 24441)
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m udp --syn --dport 24441 -j ACCEPT

Once I run the firewall.sh script, all is well ... until the next
reboot, that is.

Thanks,

Scott

after you run firewall.sh run the following command at the command
line prompt
#iptables save
