Yes. I suggest using a script such as the many you find on Freshmeat. I
used and can recommend MonMotha's. Edit and run the script, then save
the output of "iptables-save". I believe that is what your
/etc/sysconfig/iptables file is made of.

Keep the script on hand in case you want to change your rules. It's
easier to do it that way than to edit an iptables-save file.

Or "service iptables restart".
