  1. Create a script with all the commands to setup an iptables firewall
     that does what you want. Be sure to include the command "service
     iptables save" to save the firewall settings so that they will be
     used each time iptables is started. Tweaking and re-running a script
     like this is the easiest way I know to manage a firewall in a
     command-line environment.

  2. Set your initscripts so that iptables runs automatically in the
     runlevels that support networking:

       chkconfig --level 345 iptables on

  3. Set your initscripts so that ipchains does not run automatically:

       chkconfig --level 345 ipchains off


  4. Turn off ipchains:

       service ipchains stop

  5. Turn on iptables:

       service iptables start

  6. Run your iptables firewall script:

       /usr/local/sbin/firewall.sh

  7. If there were any errors during script execution, debug and rerun
     the script until satisfied.
