Yes. Another possibility is:
/etc/init.d/iptables save
The format of the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file is in my eyes
self-explaining. There is a section for each table (nat and filter by
default) and each line in the iptables syntax just without iptables as
command name in front. To know more about iptables you should visit and
read www.netfilter.org.
Just set up your iptables roules. What is active you can get with
"iptables -t filter -L -n -v" for the filter table or any other table
like the nat table with "iptables -t nat -L -n -v". After finished
setting up the ruleset just save your work into the file mentioned above
with "/etc/init.d/iptables save". Run "chkconfig --list iptables" to be
sure your iptables is started in your runlevel.
The iptables-config file in /etc/sysconfig is just as it is, setting
options to no or yes.
