No, it should not start the firewall, service iptables start should

Sure, and it does, but is it a good design to make it easy to start the
network up without the firewall?
What running services do you need to protect in single-user mode?
My memory is probably faulty, but I'm pretty sure I remember starting
the network in an older release and thinking, "Hey it started the
firewall too--that's a nice touch."
I'm pretty sure I remember the network not being started at all.
I suppose it doesn't much matter: as long as there's nothing running to
accept a network connection, nothing should be able to get in over the
net. Just the same, having the firewall in place would be that much better.
Why?
