iptables on warty

[Kirtis Bakalarczyk]

I just created a script in /etc/init.d for it called iptables, then
set it to start automatically.  You accomplish that by creating a link
in /etc/rc2.d/ called something like S00iptables.  I'm assuming you
want the firewall to start before everything else (so that your
services aren't exposed before it starts), which is what the two zeros
are for.

You can look at /etc/init.d/skeleton for the format of the init.d
files, and i included mine as a sample.

HTH,

KIRT
