If I understand it, on my system (Debian) I have my iptables firewall
script as a script in /etc/init.d/firewall, and this is linked to from
/etc/rcS.d/ (that directory is the sysv init scripts that will be used
*every* boot, unlike the rc5.d which will only be used when running run
level 5, etc).

Sorry I don't know how SuSE handles it, but you might be able to do a
similair thing.

HTH,
