I just did a test install off a netinstall iso to a mirror repo which left no /etc/sysconfig/iptables file in place.

So a quick check: # yum whatprovides /etc/sysconfig/iptables --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates --disableplugin=* No Matches found

Without that file iptables doesn't start as per the init script. Anyone know what may be awry?

Thanks, jlc

/etc/sysconfig/iptables is created or owned by any package, it's created by running the iptables-save command. Try running iptables-save.

Oops, sorry, I meant /etc/sysconfig/iptables *isn't* created or owned by any package.

Apologies.
