If you use the iptables service you must define your rules defined in
/etc/sysconfig/iptables. You can edit some defaults in
/etc/sysconfig/iptables-config.
Otherwise you can make an shell-script which loads the rules. Quick example:
=================
#!/bin/sh
echo
echo "Loading some modules"
/sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack
/sbin/modprobe ip_nat_ftp
/sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
echo
echo "Deleting all existing rules"
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
echo
echo "chain defaults"
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
# HTTP
iptables -A INPUT -p 6 -s 0/0 -d 1.2.3.4--dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p 6 -s 0/0 -d 1.2.3.4--dport 443 -j ACCEPT
=================
You can just execute this script to load the firewall... check with
"iptables -L".
Goodluck,

Hi,
The subject says it all really. I can't get IPTables to start.
Neither the command "service iptables start" or "/etc/init.d/iptables
start"
does anything.
Can anyone help please?
Cheers,
Chris Norman

To my knowledge, iptables is not a service, but a part of the kernel. Why do
you think that it is not working?
