3 This is part of PLD rc-scripts
5 Package ipchains-setup is used to easyly setup and maintain IP firewall
6 rules in PLD system. It uses, of course, ipchains utility.
8 Firewall configuration is stored in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains file (default
9 policies) and in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains.d directory. The directory
10 contains files with rules. One file for one (user-defined or system)
11 chain. Empty lines or those starting with "#" or ";" are ignored. The
12 rest after shell substitutions are passed as argumets to ipchains.
14 Lines in chain files are not divided into field (like files used by
15 firewall-setup package used to be), because most of ipchains rules would
16 have most of those fields empty.
