[PLUG] netfilter/firewall question


Ive been trying to understand iptables and
firewalling rules and seen a lot of examples 
on the web for setting it up.  right now
my main issue is 

why do they write iptables rules as 
a shellscript  and putting in /etc/rc.d
instead of defining it inline by iptables
and executing "iptables save" at the end?
which one is the preferred or the more correct
method?

epike,
iptables newbie
