----------------------------
This is a very simple script that restores the file /etc/iptables/rules.v4 as
the active ruleset at system boot.
If it exists, IPv6 rules are also restored from /etc/iptables/rules.v6
Loading of rules is guaranteed to happen before network interfaces are
brought up.
To save the current ruleset, use "iptables-save >/etc/iptables/rules.v4"
or "ip6tables-save >/etc/iptables/rules.v6", or
"invoke-rc.d iptables-persistent save"
