Potential Documentation Issue with iptables

[Sergei Gnezdov <sergeig@me.com>]

I followed instructions on Debian manual:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch-sec-services.en.html#s-firewall-pack

Section: 5.14.3.2 Manual init.d configuration

There is command listed to install /etc/init.d/myfirewall:

#update-rc.d myfirewall start 40 S . stop 89 0 6 .

The following messages are reported:

update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing

insserv: warning: script 'myfirewall' missing LSB tags and overrides

The fix for the issue requires alteration of the sample script. the script needs the following comments added:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          myfirewall
# Required-Start:    $all
# Required-Stop:     $all
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start iptables firewall
# Description:       Enable iptables firewall rules from myfirewall.
### END INIT INFO

Command can be then changed to

insserv myfirewall
