Description Marc Schiffbauer gentoo-dev

I have /var on a seperate FS and want to start iptables in level boot.

iptables has "before net" and net has "need localmount"

Without adding "need localmount" to iptable as well rc could not restore my rules

FYI, You can set your rules to be stores elsewhere than /var via /etc/conf.d/iptables

The default path of /var/lib/iptables/rules-save is actually rather arbitrary...

Yes, sure, but somewhere in /var is the right place from a FHS POV and my suggested fix works just fine, so why not just apply it so the default setting works for users which have a seperate /var (which should be all users with a proper setup system btw...)

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
