Hi,

I fear this is not sufficient: iptables-legacy-restore leaves the
previous chain policy in place if '-' is given in dump file. Please try
this snippet from a testcase I wrote:

$XT_MULTI iptables -P FORWARD DROP

diff -u -Z <($XT_MULTI iptables-save | grep '^:FORWARD') \
           <(echo ":FORWARD DROP [0:0]")

$XT_MULTI iptables-restore -c <<< "$TEST_RULESET"
diff -u -Z <($XT_MULTI iptables-save | grep '^:FORWARD') \
           <(echo ":FORWARD DROP [0:0]")

Thanks, Phil
