Topic: correct place to put iptables rule into

[Pat Erler]

hi!

i need to open up some additional ports on my SME 5.6 box, what is the correct place in the /etc/e-smith/templates/etc tree to place these modifications into, so that they become permanent?

regards,

PAT

thanks, in 5.6 appearently to..

could you help me a bit more by telling me how i should handle
the $variables (like $oidentd in 45AllowAUTH for instance).
should i just rename them to variable names i find appropriate
(say $daytime for port 13?)

would a 45AllowDaytime then look like this?

{
    my $status = $daytime{status} || "disabled";
    my $access = $daytime{access} || "public";

    $OUT = allow_tcp_in(13,
        ($status eq "enabled") && ($access eq "public"));
}

btw, what is the command to expand these scripts and apply them to the current configuration without reboot?

thanks in advance...

regards,

PAT

You have just to type :
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq
