Iceditch is quite a simple script, so it has only a few files. In a standard Debian environment, you'll find these files:

'''/etc/iceditch/rules.conf'''
This is the "rulefile", that contains your actual firewall rules (in [[Iceditch IPtables language]]).

'''/etc/iceditch/.rules.bak'''
This file may or may not exist; it's a backup of the rulefile, made by Iceditch itself when you told it to.

'''/etc/iceditch/params.conf'''
This is the "parameter file", a file that contains all parameters that Iceditch needs for your firewall. This is also the place where you would stuff your custom functions, so that you could call them from the rulefile when necessary.

'''/bin/iceditch'''
This is the firewall script itself. It's an executable shellscript.

'''/etc/init.d/iceditch'''
This is only a symlink to the iceditch script itself.
