ok, time for another almost certainly trivial question. what's the proper procedure for establishing my own iptables ruleset for red hat 8.0? first, i noticed that the startup script /etc/init.d/iptables will, at boot time, look for the iptables config file /etc/sysconfig/iptables and will run "iptables-restore" based on the contents of that file as it was saved during installation. once i define my own ruleset, i'm assuming that, first, i want to delete /etc/sysconfig/iptables to remove any trace of the former ruleset so that it does not get pulled in at boot time. and second, what's the preferred place to add my own ruleset? i can certainly add a script call to /etc/rc.local, for instance. is there a better place? rday
