"service iptables save" has been a bad idea. It's "save" action has not even been part of LSB. "iptables" is not a daemon, at most a one-shot initscript. IMO, it's much better to decouple iptables-save and systemctl. systemctl is not the proper interface to use for modifying the iptables configuration. Neither at run-time nor in /etc/sysconfig. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
