@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.
@Thou - something is flushing my iptables on boot. That is what I need to find out. I have RTFMs and I am very sure I am saving correctly. I am not competent with Linux security so this is rather baffling, yet I am not even so willing to learn that aspect of Linux. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
