ipkungfu - services /etc/rc.local
 
Hi on my gutsy ubuntu installation (kubuntu) I have used ipkungfu as my firewall script. I added ipkungfu to /etc/rc.local so that it starts on boot. However, I just want to double check it to know its okay after reboot.

If I bring up running services CTRL+Esc+F1 I cannot see ipkungfu or an iptables entry. I go to shields up and get the all clear to check.

How can I check that I have my firewall working well ? And how do you rate IPKungfu ? It passed Shields up well but is it any good.

I would think you could check your firewall settings by running the command iptables -L

if you get the following output, then your Firewall is NOT up and running..
Code:

it-etch:~# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source              destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source              destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source              destination

Thanks for that. INstead of your I output I saw iptables rules so I believe I am running successfully.
