Re: [suse-amd64] using my own iptables file/rules with SuSEfirewall2

Thanks for the reply. Currently the we have a bunch of redhat boxes these boxes have a script "/etc/init.d/iptables" this script loads the iptables modules on to the kernel at startup and then it reads the iptable rules from the file /etc/sysconfig/iptables. I would like to reuse the /etc/sysconfig/iptables rules file on the Suse box but I do not have the /etc/init.d/iptables startup script for Suse. I guess I can copy the one from the redhat box and edit it to work with the SuSe box but I really do not know how well that will work. Thanks Rene

Disable SuSEFirewall2 using chkconfig & call your file from boot.local or your own rc.local file. How are you calling iptables now ?
