ipchains -L hangs

[Jason Dale]

Hi,   I have noticed that sometimes, even after restarting my Red Hat 7 (Seawolf) machine, that when I run the "ipchains -L" command from root, the command hangs after displaying the header line. I have to use control-C to break out of the hanged program to return control to my session.   Has anyone experienced similar issues with ipchains -L ( which is meant to list all of your existing rules? )   Jason
