[TriLUG] IPTables

I feel like I'm pretty familiar with how to write IPTables rules, but
I'm a little confused about actually starting my filtering.  I have a
file called "firewall" in /etc/sysconfig that I think contains some
rules (this could be residual from some auto-generate scripts I've
tried).  I've also got /etc/sysconfig/ipchains.  Which one of these do I
edit?  Once I've written my rules, do I just issue a "service iptables
start" and they're up and running?

Thanks!
Jeff
