Thanks, Wai Peng and Vernon! Found the active iptables rules now (using 
iptables -t nat -L), it's the same as the one from S08iptables.

Still can't find any iptables configuration file though. Only manpages 
and iptables binaries returned using "find / -iname *iptable* -ls". I 
guess somehow the configuration file is deleted after it was setup...

Saved a copy of the present iptable rules using
"iptables-save > iptables.conf"
, to restore using
"cat iptables.conf | iptables-restore"
  if the system gets rebooted.

Am I on the right track? Thanks!
