@Wash, you can save your new rules in a script and let them be run
with the others scheduled for startup, for instance by placing them in
/etc/profile.

This I would do if a *iptables -s* does not save my newly created
(security) policies.

Hey Wash,

Am not a guru either but some pointers here;

What you say is possible if you for example;

Something is flushing your iptables on boot <eg. some commands may be placed here /etc/rc.local>

You didnt save your iptables rules <you could test by restarting the iptables b4 you reboot - service iptables restart>

The iptables-config file is modified not to save on reboot </etc/sysconfig/iptables-config>

You could also exec a simple command on CLI then <service iptables save>, then <reboot> - see if it saves.

Wilson./

Martin.
