I need to use a couple of iptables rules to allow ports for additional services and implement some NATted services.
In /etc/sysconfig/iptables
it says not to edit this file directly. I understand there are some GUI/TUI tools included in CentOS/Xenserver and I also have the possibility to add these rules by calling init.d scripts via rc.d or network up scripts.
My simple question:
Is it safe to just adjust /etc/sysconfig/iptables
or is there a better way in order to keep things simple and organized?
