[ale] iptables

[Jeff Lightner]

Fedora/RedHat/CentOS and derived distros you store it in
/etc/sysconfig/iptables.

On those you can run "iptables-save >/etc/sysconfig/iptables" to create
the file from what you have in memory.   On next boot it will read this
to load the same values back.

What distro? I believe most support using /etc/rc.local for executing
custom scripts on boot.
