4. Installing the configured firewall

The firewall-config tool generates /etc/sysconfig/ipchains.

If you have activated the service ipchains, the startscript /etc/init.d/ipchains will install the rules at startup.

By pressing the button Activate you install the generated rules and the service ipchains at startup. The button Deactivate deinstalls all firewall rules and removes the service ipchains from startup.

Or you may reload the rules manually as root by


# service ipchains restart
