There's nothing stop you editing /var/lib/iptables/rules-save but be aware |
| 22 |
that the init scripts might overwrite those changes if iptables has been |
| 23 |
started. (The init script also support a "reload" option which looks like |
| 24 |
it flushs all the rules without saving them first and then loads them |
| 25 |
again from /var/lib/iptables/rules-save - this might be useful for you). |
