Hi I have recently being doing a lot of rebuilds recently. Whats the best approach to saving a copy of the current firewall settings?

Hi I have recently reconfigured my system to a Bridge based architecture on the basis that I have an ADSL Modem/Router with a Public address on the Wan side and a Private address on the Lan side.

Hey! No, actually shorewall works very well and starts and so on... Thanks for this! Problem is that it won''t start on boot it seems. At least it doesn''t enable forwarding. However, if I do /etc/init.d/shorewall restart it enables forwarding and the rest... But not if I do /etc/init.d/shorewall start ;) Seems weird... System is Debian Sid, Shorewall is prepackaged by Debian...
