Firewall

[Carl Parrish]

Why would you ever have to reboot?? (sorry for the wise ass remark just
couldn't resist.) <g>

I'm trying to set up iptables as a firewall and have compiled all the modules into the kernel. I have a pretty good script (got it off the Web), but I can't figure out how to get it to run. If I type all the commands in the shell, they work fine, but when I reboot for any reason, they're gone; obviously, iptables works just fine. Slackware uses /etc/rc.d/rc.local to run scripts just before or after going multiuser so I'd only be exposed fo a few seconds and have no other services (that I'm aware of) running; I've already shut down everything in inetd.conf. That being said, I don't know how to shell script in rc.local so I can call up my firewall script. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
