iptables port forward

forbese · 02-12-2006, 01:59 PM

I'm trying to forward port 80 to port 10080 for my dvarchive server.
I use this script.

/usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 10080
/usr/sbin/iptables-save

This works fine until I restart my system. I'm guessing the Yast frontend to susefirewall2 or iptables is rewriting the file. How do I keep this as a permanant setting without adding this as a startup script(/etc/init.d/boot.local)?

Thanks

I use fedora myself, and I can do it two ways:

# /etc/init.d/iptables save

or to use iptables-save you must supply an output file:

# iptables-save > /path/to/firewall/rules
