iptables does not support chkconfig!

iptables does not support chkconfig!

[Silkk]

Hello,

I installed iptables 1.2.7a with kernel 2.4.20. I tryed to get them to start when i boot
my pc but they are not starting. I created a firewall script named "firewall" in:
"/etc/init.d" 
---I ran:
chown root.root /etc/init.d/firewall
chmod u=rwx /etc/init.d/firewall
chmod 775 /etc/init.d/firewall
---And added this line to my "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" file
sh /etc/init.d/firewall

But that still dont get them started up. If i run 
sh /etc/init.d/firewall manually then my rules properly.

I tryed using 
"chkconfig levels 23456 iptables on" but get this 
service iptables does not support chkconfig

And i get an error when i re-boot my computer on start up after redhat network dameon
starts something about iptables i check my logs but cant see it in there! 
Any help how i can get my rules to start when my PC starts up???

Try changing "iptables" to "/sbin/iptables" or whatever path it actually 
lives on.  (that's the one for an RPM install under RedHat, I believe)  
You can't count on a script having valid paths set up during the system 
startup, play it safe and be explicit.

/usr/local/sbin/iptables i tryed to veiw that file using vi 
and it is a special chractors like
&8$#

Put this in the top of your script (including the #):
#chkconfig: 2345 <start-prio> <stop-prio>

Then use this :
chkconfig --level 2345 iptables on

I tryed that and re-started 
#chkconfig 2345 80 30
And firewall script starts but the rules didnt run ...Sooo this is what i did im not sure
if it is the proper method but everything seems to be working:
i installed the latest iptables rpm package 
iptables-1.2.5.rpm and then rebooted and it worked? Could something go worng by doing
this if soo what could have been another method to fix it.

/usr/local/sbin/iptables sounds reasonable.  Try invoking it as 
"/usr/local/sbin/iptables -V" to check version and make sure everything 
makes sense.
