Do you see that service iptables save in the end of my script? That's the way how Fedora saves the settings. You can see the current tables (before and after running my script) with the command /sbin/iptables -v -L The original Red Hat firewall contains custom chain (that's something like procedures in the programming languages) which is good, but IMHO not required for the simple script like what is needed by both of us.
