iptables on warty

[Christoph Georgi]

I didn't put my firewall script in /etc/init.d. Instead I have my 
firewall-script in /etc/fw (random) and created a link in the /etc/rc2.d 
folder:

$ ln -s /etc/fw/fw_script /etc/rc2.d/S08fw

My script is written in bash and basically only contains the iptables 
command lines, eg. iptables -A INPUT -p TCP [...] -j ACCEPT and so on..
