[IPCop-user] Loading FW_LOG rules at boot

[Milo B. <bla...@ea...>]

Using version 2.1.9.

To load rules at boot there is normally no problem entering in
rc.firewall/rc.firewall.local. However, chain FW_LOG seems to be a problem.

I see where the chain is created and references are added to INPUT and
FORWARD in rc.firewall. However, no rules are added to FW_LOG. When I
attempt to add rules they do not appear when the machine boots/reboots.
I am actually sourcing from another script and I know the rules are
being added because rules in other chains are added and appear properly
and if I run the source directly through bash all appear as they should.
It appears that somewhere further down the line during boot  this chain
is flushed and then populated, losing anything added in
rc.firewall/rc.firewall.local.

Question: where can rules be added to FW_LOG so they will survive the
boot process? Alternately where or how can rules be added as the
absolute last thing during boot? I can't seem to find the last script
run or a hook to either add a script or source a script.

Thanks. By the way, I won't say how many years I have used IPCOP because
I don't remember and that would also be an indication of my age. Just
let me say somebody had to teach rocks how to make dirt and I guess I
got the job.
