[ale] Does anyone know the trick to iptables

[George Allen]

Or:
iptables -S | awk '{x="IPTABLES-Chain-"$2;}{print > x;}'; cat
IPTABLES-Chain-{INPUT,FORWARD} && rm IPTABLES-Chain-*

Same as the last one, except uses -S instead of -L, change the order
of cat *{INPUT,FORWARD} to change the output order.
