Hi,
I just want to edit IPtables using Nano or VI. I seem to only find commands to edit painfully slowly from the command line. Can anyone tell me what file I should edit IPtables and what is its location.

Thanks.

You can edit the config file directly. Which Linux distro are you using? Red Hat family may have it in:

/etc/sysconfig/iptables

If you have Ubuntu, it is not using IP Tables currently and it is not my fault:)
