Hello everybody, So far I have been writing all the iptables commands in a file & ran it in a terminal (bash filename). Then I do the "service iptables save" to save & load the configuration during boot-up. Pretty soon the configuration file is going to have around 800 commands & this file is modified quite often. So for the changes to reflect in run-time I do a "bash <script-file>". Somewhere I read that loading that many commands using "bash <script-file>" is not recommended (Is this true?). So I started searching in Google for other alternatives. I came across the following: - Use rc.firewall (I don't know if its in /etc or /etc/init.d or what) - Use /etc/firewall.conf - Use /etc/init.d/firewall Could someone tell me which file to use? In Fedora core 2 I found only /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables. Which way would be easy to load a huge script that would be modified quite often? OS specs: Fedora Core 2 Kernel 2.6.8.1 Iptables 1.2.11 Hardware: 2.8Ghz P4 1 GB RAM Thank you, Deepak Seshadri
