How to restore iptables starting script

[satimis]

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64


Just found iptables NOT running which, I suppose, was caused by accidentally deleting /home/satimis previously.


$ sudo /etc/rc.local start/stop/restart
No response (w/o printout)


Neither I find;
$ sudo ls /etc/init.d/ | grep iptables
No printout


The file /etc/rc.local is still there with rules intact.


$ ls -l /sbin/iptables

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 57336 2007-07-06 02:17 /sbin/iptables

is still there.


Please advise where can I get the starting script "iptables" back?

Which is the correct step starting iptables;
$ sudo /etc/rc.local
???

OR
$ sudo /etc/init.d/iptables
???


Please advise. TIA

I guess it would depend on what distro you are using.

RH/FC/CentOS it would be /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables
The rules are stored in /etc/sysconfig/iptables and are read when the script is started.

Oh sorry. I forgot to mention the OS is Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
