[WBEL-users] iptables - where and how to insert the rules ?

[Mário Gamito]

Hi,

I'm currently running a development server based on WBEL, with a few 
iptables rules, because i don't want no one except the development team 
to access it.

Well, i have this executable, rc.firewall in /etc, being called form 
/etc/rc.local

I believe this is not the right thing (TM) to do, although it works.

 From what i saw in iptables ctl, the rules should be in 
/etc/sysconfig/iptables, right ?
But when i insert them in that file, i always get an error from 
"/etc/init.d/iptables start", saying it doesn't recognize the text.

Any help about how it should be done ?

Thank you.

Warm Regards.
