how many fs can you find in:
q: does iptables -l show rules in order of execution? when im looking at the output of iptables -l
# iptables -l
chain input (policy drop)
target     prot opt source               destination
accept     all  --  anywhere             anywhere
accept     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            udp dpt:1194
drop       all  --  anywhere             ip-x.x.x.nydsl.com
drop       all  --  anywhere             anywhere            state invalid

ive always assumed that the rules execute in order top to bottom.  but reading the documentation i havent been able to verify that.  can anyone confirm?

a: yup, it does (

if the packet does not match, the next rule in the chain is the examined

). btw, iptables-save gives a way more readable output.
