If I run service iptables restart the value in the file goes back to default. I've noticed the same in a power failure scenario where the machine lost power and on reboot didn't change the hashsize. > I've had a quick look through /etc/init.d/tideway and as far as I can tell a restart just runs a stop and start. I'm assuming some sort of save/restore flag is or isn't set and this is causing the problem during a restart or power cut. > > I need to ensure that the correct hashsize is always set.
