I am not a Linux guy so please, no laughing. I'm sure that this is a simple thing. I have two different linux boxes (Smoothwall, which is linux based, and Ferdora Core 6 with apache) with the same problem. I first thought it was just smoothwall, but my other box ended up with the same problem. For some reason whenever we have entered in the IPTABLES, it will revert back to the default information after the machine is rebooted. Is there a command to save the information that has been added into the IPTABLES?

Perhaps if I follow my own advice I would have found the answer... lol

The IPTABLES are stored in RAM so I had to issue the /sbin/service iptables save command to save the configuration..

I just put all my Iptables commands in a script that runs at startup.

[Couriant]

that too. I found that out later

does the same thing though.

Edit the rules in /etc/sysconfig/iptables by hand.

Or, make rule changes in ram and do: /sbin/service iptables save
