Is there a chance the proper script is not getting called to start iptables? Is iptables being started by the system or by a manual script you run? There should be something similar to the following in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and /etc/rc.d/rc5.d /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S08iptables Notice the 'S08' on that file name, which tells the system to automatically (S)tart iptables. If that file is not there or if it is named K92iptables then it is not getting started by the system and does not auto-load your rules. > Not sure why this even works, but it does... > > Thanks All, > -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
