Now, make this script executable and change its default permission:
[root@deep /]# chmod 700 /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall
[root@deep /]# chown 0.0 /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall
Create the symbolic rc.d links for your Firewall with the command:
[root@deep /]# chkconfig --add firewall
[root@deep /]# chkconfig --level 345 firewall on
Now, your firewall rules are configured to use System V init (System V init is in charge of starting
all the normal processes that need to run at boot time) and it will be automatically started each
time if your server reboot.
