I am confused about these two services:
I have a computer acting as firewall/router running on F8.
When I installed F8 I inserted my backup copy of iptables that is:
# Generated by iptables-save v1.2.6a on Fri Feb 21 09:27:33 2003
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
-A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

and I didn't care about ip6tables.
My ip6tables is:
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-firewall
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp6-adm-prohibited
-A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp6-adm-prohibited
COMMIT
the two are completely different.
I made a crazy try replacing ip6tables content with iptables content and I restarted ip6tables but I get:
ip6tables failed. The error was: ip6tables: Unloading modules: [ OK ]
ip6tables: Applying firewall rules: ip6tables-restore v1.3.8: ip6tables-restore: unable to initialize table 'nat'
Error occurred at line: 2
Try `ip6tables-restore -h' or 'ip6tables-restore --help' for more information.

why?? how iptables and ip6tables should match???
