Did you install a Redhat iptables update by rpm or did you download and build your own? Normally a Redhat rpm automatically restarts a service after it updates it, but if it didn'tHi,I have Linux server REDHAT 8.0 installed with iptables v1.2.6a. I have upgrade it tov 1.2.8 by installing 1.2.8. But when I check iptables -V. It shows 1.2.6a version. Do i have to delete iptable file before installing 1.2.8?Thanks.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables restart
will do the job. If you installed someone else's rpm or built your own binary from source, make sure that your startup script path points to the new version. I'm not aware of any reason you should have to delete the old version, although it's generally good practice to remove any unused software from a firewall box.
