Do you see that

service iptables save

in the end of my script? That's the way how Fedora saves the 
settings. You can see the current tables (before and after 
running my script) with the command

/sbin/iptables -v -L

The original Red Hat firewall contains custom chain (that's 
something like procedures in the programming languages) which is 
good, but IMHO not required for the simple script like what is 
needed by both of us.

Best,

Matej
