Hi I'd like to run a script to retore ipchains rolls saved using ipchains-save There is any sample script made for SuSE 7.1, I can run at boot to call the file and restore the policy in ipchains-restore ? In wich directory of my SuSE linux 7.1 the script will be to get ruuned at boot ?

The scripts you're looking at are /sbin/ipchains-restore /sbin/ipchains-save they read and write to stdio, so save your rules with /sbin/ipchains-save > /etc/ipchains.rules and read the rules at startup like /sbin/ipchains-restore < /etc/ipchains.rules the script to do that would be /etc/init.d/boot.local for a 7.1. It runs before any network interface is up and running, which ipchains doesn't care about and which is a good idea because you will not have some packets getting through when your machine boots.

Thanks Abou.
