"iptables-save -c" gives me per rule counters as in:

	[21:1260] -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT 

this is not defaulting to on. The problem I have is that iptables-save
(without -c) gives me the chain counters:

	:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
	:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
	:OUTPUT ACCEPT [7568359:2744381371]
	:RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0]

and OUTPUT ACCEPT is always changing. Also it gives the
timestamps in commented out lines, which also is noise for
func-inventory. So every host is daily adding something like
the following:

	-# Generated by iptables-save v1.3.5 on Fri Jun  3 14:57:06 2011
	+# Generated by iptables-save v1.3.5 on Fri Jun  3 15:08:54 2011
	 *filter
	 :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
	 :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
	-:OUTPUT ACCEPT [26377:4434694]
	+:OUTPUT ACCEPT [29222:4961577]
	 -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT 
	 -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT 
	 -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT 
	@@ -22,4 +22,4 @@
	 -A FORWARD -m limit --limit 3/min -j LOG --log-prefix "FIREWALL: " --log-level 6 
	 -A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited 
	 COMMIT
	-# Completed on Fri Jun  3 14:57:06 2011
	+# Completed on Fri Jun  3 15:08:54 2011

You're not seeing these timestamps or counters ?
