IMPORT-FERM(1)						     FIREWALL RULES MADE EASY						    IMPORT-FERM(1)

NAME
       import-ferm - import existing firewall rules into ferm

SYNOPSIS
       import-ferm > ferm.conf

       iptables-save | import-ferm > ferm.conf

       import-ferm inputfile > ferm.conf

DESCRIPTION
       This script helps you with porting an existing IPv4 firewall configuration to ferm.  It reads a file generated with iptables-save, and
       tries to suggest a ferm configuration file.

       If no input file was specified on the command line, import-ferm runs iptables-save.

BUGS
       iptables-save older than 1.3 is unable to write valid saves - this is not a bug in import-ferm.
