Re: iptables strangeness

I had a similar problem a year or two ago.  It's a bit hazy but from what I
remember the iptables script wouldn't run if put in /etc/sysconfig/iptables,
I actually had to run it separately after networking had been brought up
(ran from rc.local I think).  All I could put it down to was that as the
ppp0 device is not a piece of hardware that exists before networking is
brought up, iptables couldn't reference it (I could very well be wrong...).
This unfortunately means that there could be a small window of opportunity
for hackers depending on your configuration.  Wasn't a problem for me
because I had set up ppp for dial on demand so iptables was up and running
before the system was connected.
