Jos,
Thanks for your suggestions. But I think you went a bit too far for the newbie I was trying to help get started on iptables. We could go on for hours about how to set up a firewall - like it being not on a box with rc5.d enabled. Perhaps even killing services like *printing*... but be that is what the guy is working with, I pointed him to netfilters docs page to take he look for himself.
It is these types of almighty procalmations that make it hard for newbies, as we *all* were at one time.

You suggest to enable the firewall *after* starting the n... You should not make scripts in rc*.d...... There already is an iptables startup script, so use it.....
