Comment 3 for bug 579868

I know about ufw, the problem is that eucalyptus is not aware of ufw (at least from what I saw in the source code) and the cloud controller resets the iptables rules EVERY TIME it's restarted, not just on reboot. The only documented way to "prevent" it from clear your custom rules is to use the iptables-preload file I talked about.

I know that the ideal solution would be that Eucalyptus use ufw, however I'm not sure that would be a trivial task so, until then, I just want to be able to use the official way to get it working instead of a hack I had to add so the file is copied there after each reboot.
