That's a RedHat path. Debian doesn't use so many layers of
indirection it its sysv-based init.

I created mine from scratch (it's just a shell script that runs
'iptables' a bunch of times) and stored it in /etc/FIREWALL/FIREWALL.
I then added a symlink from /etc/rcS.d/S38FIREWAL to it.
I chose to put the script itself in a separate directory so that I can
have multiple scripts there with different setups (eg a .home, .work,
.school, etc for a laptop) and so I can put helper scripts (eg the
'droplist.sh' I posted a few days ago) there.
HTH,

It combines the power of C with the readability of PostScript.
