When doing /etc/init.d/iptables stop, it should save the state like if somebody had done /etc/init.d/iptables save before stop. This would help people that run firewall scripts, since they can just run it, and when they reboot, the state is saved, and loaded it boot again. This could be configured in /etc/conf.d/iptables, so people can enable/disable this behaviour. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I have a patch for /etc/conf.d/iptables and /etc/init.d/iptables that does the trick :)
Created attachment 37603 [details, diff] iptables_patch.diff Patch that adds this feature :)
Added to CVS, thanks!
