Are you using your old Fedora iptables script? I do it differently. I don't trust the "service iptables save" as sometimes adding other services will alter the saved data. The Red Hat scrips will do that for you to be "helpful". The best solution (for me) is to create a completely standalone iptables configuration script. Then I just hack the default iptables script to run that script instead of loading the saved rules. This leads to the minimum amount of intrusion into the Red Hat setup and has not given me any problems when upgrading from RH9 via various RHEL, Fedora and now to CentOS4. -- //Morten Torstensen //Email: morten at mortent.org //IM: Cartoon at jabber.no morten.torstensen at gmail.com And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil.
