13 Looking at /etc/init.d/iptables I see:
14 case ${iptables_name} in
15 iptables) iptables_proc="/proc/net/ip_tables_names"
16 iptables_save=${IPTABLES_SAVE};;
17 ip6tables) iptables_proc="/proc/net/ip6_tables_names"
18 iptables_save=${IP6TABLES_SAVE};;
19
20 If you look at /etc/conf.d/iptables I see:
21
22 IPTABLES_SAVE="/var/lib/iptables/rules-save"
23
24 # Options to pass to iptables-save and iptables-restore
25 SAVE_RESTORE_OPTIONS="-c"
26
27 # Save state on stopping iptables
28 SAVE_ON_STOP="yes"

30 Make sure your scripts are ok and correct.
31
32 rc-status nor 'ps aux | grep iptable will show iptables is
33 running or not.
34
35 '/etc/init.d/iptables start' will show if iptables is running
36 * WARNING: "iptables" has already been started.
37
38 Also, 'rc-update add iptables boot' will bring up your firewall
39 before interfaces are up.
