I like to use the Mandrake /etc/sysconfig/iptables and /etc/init.d/iptables
combination. after setting everything up properly, the firewall will go up
with 'service iptables start' and will revert to "open" mode incase
something goes wrong by issuing 'service iptables stop'. pretty neat. it's
also easier to configure by editing the rules in /etc/sysconfig/iptables
then issuing iptables commands to the console.
