NAME:

iptables-versioned-initscript

SYNOPSIS:

/etc/init.d/iptables [start|stop|restart|status|save|revert {n}|rollback {n}]

DESCRIPTION:

As Debian seems to have depreciated the init script for iptables, this is a basic drop-in replacement. The only notable feature is that it does handle basic firewall rule versioning.

TODO:

• Add a timed restart (requiring a user prompt to commit the rules)
