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 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
