My system admin gave me a file with iptables rules. What command do I type in to load this?
I heard people can do this in one line?
Something like...iptables > thefile.dat ????

A:
You can save your current iptables using iptables-save as in
iptables-save >thefile.dat
and later load it with
cat thefile.dat | iptables-restore

Umm, why use `cat` instead of simply `iptables-restore < thefile.dat`?

Out of habit, no other reason.
