Re: UFW firewall script
Probably - iptables is at the heart of most linux firewall apps. It would help, though, if you told us what UFW is.

Re: UFW firewall script
Universal firewall 
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/ufw/
It's the easy way to setup iptables...
It's enough to put ufw in DAEMONS in rc.conf, no need for iptables...

Re: UFW firewall script
it is not enough to put ufw in rc.conf
you must also enable ufw itself: "ufw enable"
I'm using this software for long time already - very very nice one

Re: UFW firewall script
ufw (uncomplicated firewall) is a simple frontend for iptables and is available in the community repository.
I did as the wiki said, I punched in
sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp
sudo ufw logging on
sudo ufw enablethen I tried /etc/rc.d/iptables start
but I got this:
Cannot load iptables rules: /etc/iptables/iptables.rules is missing!Offline

I would like to stress the importnce on entering
ufw enableAFTER adding the rules. It seems to be the magic line that makes ufw apply the rules. Simply restarting ufw throught etc/rc.d/ufw doesnt work.
I know its kindda off topic, but it might help someone.
