            All,

            I continue to have strange firewall issues.  The iptables
            firewall is
            acting normal EXCEPT when the system gets restarted.  Then
            it is like it
            goes back to some default setting and I have log into the
            console and
            manually run the firewall.sh script.  The script
            automatically saves the
            settings with 'service iptables save' and I have run this
            manually as
            well. Still having the same issue.

            Anyone out there have any ideas that might save my firewall
            settings
            though restarts/reboots?

            Thanks,
            Scott


        That's peculiar. I expect that something else in your boot
        process is setting the firewall.

        After reboot, does the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file contain the
        settings from firewall.sh script or something else? That's the
        file that's normally used to start/restart iptables.

    I'll have to check that when I can take the server down for a few.
      I know that the when I checked the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file
    AFTER I ran the firewall.sh script, it contained the correct
    information.

After rebooting a new non-production QMT server I checked the
/etc/sysconfig/iptables file and it looks like it is correct.  I was not
able to SSH into the box until after I run the firewall.sh script (I
have it set up so that SSH is on a different port).

Once I run the firewall.sh script, I can SSH just like normal.

I've been running Google searches, but they so far have not helped. They
give me the same commands (service iptables save   or
/etc/init.d/iptables save). Any advice on this one?

Thanks,
Scott


Something's changing iptables. If it's not changing the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file, then it must be changing iptables on the fly, after init starts iptables (which uses the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file). Anything in rc.local?
