redhat firewall *basic question*

I've been running slack for a long time (go slackers!). I've built pretty
nice scripts using iptables to run on slack.

I'm used to the fact that slack doesn't install any services that build
iptables chains at boot up or as the box is running.

What services (or are there any) do I need to watch out for on redhat that
will create iptables entries? I'd rather control the whole shooting match.

Thanks!

/etc/init.d/iptables loads the rules in /etc/sysconfig/iptables into
netfilter. You should seriously consider putting your rules into
/etc/sysconfig/iptables.

I'm not a slacker, so please don't take offense if I'm wrong, but is the
syntax "/etc/init.d/iptables save"? Under Red Hat I know that
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables save" would save the currently running
iptables rule set to /etc/sysconfig/iptables.

"service iptables save" is basically a front-end to this. Works
on Red Hat 9, dunno about Slack.

Slackware uses a bsd style init, so the
service servicename command
syntax doesnt won't work for you

iirc iptables save should do it
just remember to load those rules
take a look at /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall if you are using slackware 9.1
otherwise you have to make it yourself
