[gentoo-user] iptables wiki page questions

[Grant Edwards]

I read through the iptables wiki page this afternoon to refresh my
memory on how you save rules so they get load on startup.

  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Iptables

There are some inconsitencies which I'm curious about.

### "rc-service iptables" vs. "/etc/init.d/iptables"

Most of the page's examples use "rc-server iptables <cmd>" but in a
few spots it is "/etc/init.d/iptables <cmd>".

### boot vs. default runlevel

At the top of the page, rules are loaded by adding 'iptables' to the
runlevel 'default', while at the bottom of the page, the 'boot'
runlevel is used instead.

Is there some significance to these differences?
