fmFirewall Load Rules after restart

[air101]

Hi WillyXJ,

is it possible that you include a code that fmFirewall rules are applied after a server restart again? I know I could do this via cron or rc.local but it would be a nice feature :)

Thank you and Best Regards

EL-based Linux systems get the rules applied at boot already because the rules are stored in /etc/sysconfig/iptables. This feature request would be for other Linux distros which could get complicated.

Debian-based: Add a script to /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ to run iptables-restore
Arch: Rules should be stored in /etc/iptables/iptables.rules
SuSE: FW_CUSTOMRULES should be set to fmFirewall.rules in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2
Gentoo: Rules should be stored in /var/lib/iptables/rules-save
Slackware: Rules should be stored in /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall

fmFirewall already uses the proper file locations for most Linux distros:

'iptables' => array(
    'Arch'      => '/etc/iptables/iptables.rules',
    'Fedora'    => '/etc/sysconfig/iptables',
    'Redhat'    => '/etc/sysconfig/iptables',
    'CentOS'    => '/etc/sysconfig/iptables',
    'ClearOS'   => '/etc/sysconfig/iptables',
    'Oracle'    => '/etc/sysconfig/iptables',
    'Gentoo'    => '/var/lib/iptables/rules-save',
    'Slackware' => '/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall'
),

The only change I see is to support automatically loading the rules for debian-based systems.

v1.3 has been released and contains this fix.
