When I run iptables -L, I get reams and reams of junk. I've gone through it and understand more than half of it, but it seems like there are some rules there that I don't want, and there are some that I do that aren't there. I can manually tweak the chains a little bit (for instance, I manually disabled and reenabled forwarding 8079 on the gateway to 8080 on the Sun box via iptables -t nat -R blah blah blah... yay!) but I can't find where the rules live. Is there a cental config file that has all the rules?
yes under SuSE 8.0 /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2
If I change things via the command line, and like my changes, how do I make them effective after a restart?
at /etc/sysconfig/scripts/SuSEfirewall2-custom I have a draft (read incomplete) SuSEfirewall2 document at http://dinamizmn.ath.cx/articles/firewall2.pdf maybe it will also provide some information for your needs HTH -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
