As it turns out I recently added a line to the kickstart postscript section in which I lowercase everything within the webroot with a batch file that I created. The line was like this: /bin/lcase.batch -R /var/www/webroot But I don't understand why this could affact iptables. I use -R because there are several directories within the webroot I need to lowercase. However, when I changed the line to this: /bin/lcase.batch /var/www/webroot/samples /bin/lcase.batch /var/www/webroot/graphics /bin/lcase.batch /var/www/webroot/audio I still had the problem I described earlier with iptables not working. What is happening here? Why is _everything_ being lowercased (with or without the -R)? Thanks.
