[ale] Does anyone know the trick to iptables

[George Allen]

OK (Really, I'm just trying to improve my awk skills...) This should
do it consistently, at the cost of creating tmp files:

# iptables -L -n | awk '/^Chain/{x="IPTABLES-Chain-"$2;}{print > x;}';
cat IPTABLES-Chain-{INPUT,FORWARD} && rm IPTABLES-Chain-*

*** note the RM at the end... *** don't cut and paste without a risk
assessment. :)
