rc-service runs the same service scripts that are in /etc/init.d/, so |
| 8 |
it's the same. However the manpage of rc-service(8) mentions that |
| 9 |
“Service scripts could be in different places on different systems”, so |
| 10 |
the most compatible way would be to use rc-service. |

I would use the same runlevel I use for net.*. iptables will always be |
| 20 |
started before net.*, see depend() in /etc/init.d/iptables. |
| 21 |
Note that, if you set rc_depend_strict="NO" in /etc/rc.conf, the |
| 22 |
dependency “net” is satisfied if only one net.* service is started. In |
| 23 |
this case you may want to but iptables in ‘boot’ and net.* in ‘default’. |
