Dear Tahmeed, Thank you. But that's exactly what I'm doing. I am absolutely positive that the correct script is saved to /etc/sysconfig/iptables. I tried with all of the following: - iptables-save - service iptables save If I use 'iptables-restore /etc/sysconfic/iptables' after reboot, then the correct script gets loaded (which also shows that the correct values are in /etc/sysconfig/iptables). My init script IS indeed getting run at system startup. So, what I can't figure out is why the script in /etc/sysconfig/iptables is not being loaded at system startup. Any ideas?
