Hello list, Is there a way to quickly get some sort of indication from /proc, the iptables-output or another tool, how many rules / chains are configured? I'm looking for something that can frequently check this without having to transfer the whole ruleset from the kernel and decode it, which can take up a considerable amount of resources if you have a really huge rulesets (XXXk rules), in order to determine whether any rules are loaded yet.
