Generating ipchains command from ipchains -L output.

    Is there a way to re-create the ipchains and iptables commands from
    the output listing?

    Here is what I am trying to do. Suppose I have a script that sets up
    firewall. Later on you or someone else add more rules from command
    line. I want to be able to re-create the ipchains/iptable commands
    from the "ipchains -L" or "iptables -L" output.

    Is there a program that will do it?

    Thanks.

    you could instead use iptables-save and iptables-restore.

    Cool, that works for iptables.

    Is there anything similar for ipchains?

    it's backed up on tape somewhere. Others can have their own.

    $ locate ipchains | grep bin
    /sbin/ipchains
    /sbin/ipchains-restore
    /sbin/ipchains-save
