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
