Package: iptables-persistent
Version: 0.5.7
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I used the 'flush' option (/etc/init.d/iptables-persistent flush).
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
effective: rearranged the order of iptables commands in the script.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Works fine now.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
to work fine already.


flush_rules() drops rules first before setting policy to ACCEPT.  I think you 
need to set policy to ACCEPT before flushing rules.

failed eg:
                for param in F Z X; do /sbin/iptables -$param; done
                for table in $(cat /proc/net/ip_tables_names)
                do
                        /sbin/iptables -t $table -F
                        /sbin/iptables -t $table -Z   
                        /sbin/iptables -t $table -X
                done
                for chain in INPUT FORWARD OUTPUT
                do
                        /sbin/iptables -P $chain ACCEPT
                done
