iptables missing after reboot

[Kevin Brown]

Isn't that how it is done on all the systems?  I've dealt with IPf under solaris
and ipchains/iptables under RH and I believe debian does the same thing.  When I
used RH4.2 the rules were added to /etc/rc.d/rc.local as the last thing the
system did upon booting up.

> Pete I'm still looking for a better solution but what I did was create a iptables script added it to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ (note I was using a Red Hat box). Then in the script had it reload the ip_tables mod. Not the worlds best solution, but it works.
