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,
