Distro questions belong in a distro forum. I can guarantee that what
you're doing is the wrong way to set up a firewall at boot time, in any
distro with which I am familiar. Check your distro's documentation about
"firewall" or "iptables" and find out the right way to do it.
rc.local. What things do I have to do for it to take the iptables
rules in it? I did an iptables -L but no rules were present.
rc.local, like other startup scripts, is a shell script. Do learn what
that means; I cannot help you unless you know what can/should be in a
script. Perhaps your time would be best spent at this point in finding
some basic bash and shell tutorials.
I will throw in a WAG, however: your "script" might have been a set of
rules for iptables-restore(8).
