iptables file name and location
by JayD2019 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4SV8J)
Hello,
I have inherited a linux gateway with OS: OpenSuSe 42.3
The person responsible for setup has a medical condition and i cant contact him.
If i do a # iptables -L, I can see all the setup rules
I need to open some ports for a newly installed VOIP call centre Server, but cant find the iptables config file.
If i issue: # systemctl status iptables, it returns
'not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)'
Yet if i: # iptables-save > /root/folder/iptables.save, it creates the file and i can vi it.
The Q is: where can i find the iptables file if its not located in the "traditional" locations?
