Thank you.

So iptables is slowly being phased out and I gather it is advisable to
switch to the new system.

Does iptables still work on beowulf? It's just that I'd like to be
able to back out of an attempt to switch to nftables in case I need the
net to ask for advice if it doesn't work.

And am I right in assuming that "nftables" does *not* stand for
New-Fangled Tables? :-)
