[Cialug] A couple more Debian questions

[Renegade Muskrat]

In Debian is there an easy or proper way to configure an iptables 
firewall? I have the iptables package installed. But unlike Red Hat, i 
don't notice an associated script in /etc/init.d to load a ruleset at 
system boot. Do i have to write my own script, or is there some 
separate package that i missed? I've seen some fancy GUI firewall 
configurators. I don't want anything like that; i'm perfectly content 
to write firewall rules manually. I just haven't seen an obvious way to 
go about loading the iptables rules on reboot yet.

Second question: What is the recommended way to go about configuring a 
printer in Debian Sarge? I've never been terribly competent at setting 
up printers, so it is one area that i actually prefer a GUI. Under Red 
Hat i've always gotten by using printconf (or whatever the name of the 
GUI utility is). Is there something similar that will make setting up a 
printer easy?


Random fun note: I installed gdm to provide a graphical login screen. I 
found that by adding a line "1=Standard" to the "[servers]" section of 
/etc/gdm/gdm.conf that i get 2 graphical logins, one on virtual 
terminal 7 and another on 8. I could have created a third and fourth by 
adding "2=Standard" and "3=Standard". I've not looked into other X 
login screens (such as kdm or xdm), but i assume they could be 
configured to work the same way. I just thought it was rather 
interesting and useful that 2 separate X sessions can be run 
simultaneously.
