Is there a button on the tool to make the rules active? If not it's
more or less a total loss from a convenience standpoint. I'd look to
/etc/sysconfig/iptables. If it is present check its time stamp. That
is the file that should be edited for the standard Red Hat setup.
If it has changed recently try "/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables restart".
Of course, if you are using IPChains then change names to protect
the guilty.
