If you read the file you'll notice it says to make it executable, of
course. By default it does nothing at all. You can also put your script
somewhere else - say, /etc/foo - and source it from /etc/rc.local .

On my laptop I call my (very simple) iptables script from there. I left
the comments in so it looks like this, now:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

# Start iptables rules

. /etc/iptables.up

exit0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seems to work fine :)
