IPtables script run on boot-up

Hi - at present I manually run my iptables script by su to root, cd into script directory then ./<scriptname> - this works fine and I then check it with:

# iptables -L -v

No problems - now - is there a standard way with Arch for your iptables script to be run automatically on boot ?

Thanks.

Re: IPtables script run on boot-up

sure, just add "iptables" to the DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf
(it will restore /etc/iptables/iptables.rules on boot, and save it on shutdown)

Re: IPtables script run on boot-up

First, run your iptables script and then execute 'iptables-save > /etc/iptables/iptables.rules' to save your rules. Then add iptables to DAEMONS array to have those rules executed on boot, as sorcerer suggested.

/etc/rc.d/iptables start
*run iptables script*
/etc/rc.d/iptabes save

Re: IPtables script run on boot-up

Cheers guys - I've sorted it - ran the script then checked it was active with:

# iptables -L

then saved the active ruleset with:

# /etc/rc.d/iptables save

then added:

iptables

to the daemons list in /etc/rc.conf

rebooted - and checked it's active, and it is wink

Thanks again everyone smile
