[gentoo-user] saving iptables state

[Martin Marcher]

Hi,

i have a home setup with portsentry also hooked to my box as firewall 
addition. now the problem my box is in another room and sometimes my 
colleague just turns it of (the brutal way just unplug it). now i was 
wondering if anyone had ideas about how to save the iptables state that 
portsentry creates. iptables-save doesn't do the trick for some reaseon

thx
Martin
