First, sorry for my typo. It should be "/sbin/service iptables status".
If that isn't the problem, continue.
Let's get the obvious out of the way first:
Make sure that iptables is set to start at boot ("/sbin/chkconfig --list
iptables") and turn it on if it is not ("/sbin/chkconfig iptables on").
Make sure it is actually running ("/sbin/service iptables start"). Run
redhat-config-securitylevel or lokkit all the way through. Then check
again.
