[aklug] Re: saving iptables rules on Ubuntu

For posterity: I figured out that the standard tool for firewall
management in Ubuntu is ufw. It translates its own (simpler) syntax into
iptables rules, and alters the permanent configuration every time you
add a rule through the ufw utility. It has its own init script which is
added to the default runlevel with the command "update-rcd ufw defaults"

As was mentioned, there are other ways of doing it, but this seems
pretty convenient to me.
