iptables/firewall for systemd

[luciano]

I upgraded to systemd a couple of months ago, following the gentoo systemd guide. However, I've been unable to find support for iptables (or any other firewall for that matter); the stable iptables version 1.4.20 doesn't appear to include init scripts for systemd.

Also there is no replacement service discussed in the howto guide for iptables here http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd#Native_services .

Any suggestions?

In openrc, the iptables init script is just a wrapper around calling iptables-restore to load rules at startup and iptables-save to save them to persistent storage at shutdown. If no systemd service exists for it, one should be easy to write. No processes are left running long term for systemd to manage.
