This is FC7.... using the cli iptables commands from root.... I also
used webmin with the same effect.
Why are the new rules not remembered?
Thanks
If you are talking about the rules not surviving a reboot, try
running "service iptables save" and/or "service ip6tables save". If
you want the changes saved automatically, edit
/etc/sysconfig/iptables.conf and change
IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_RESTART="no" to IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_STOP="yes". Do
the same for /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables.conf.

ah... that's good to know... BUT.... in neither case have I restarted
the system....
I'll have a look at that config file though and see if there are any
clues. :-)
Maybe what I need to do (as you suggest) is "service iptables save"
after adding the rules and verifying they work correctly.
(I looked at the webmin method specifically for some form of "save these
rules", but there is only "apply thse rules", which I did need to do)
