Redhat makes update RPMs available for all the packages in their distros. You can configure and run "Update Agent" or you can go to their site at http://www.redhat.com/apps/download/ to find them. You can also find the update file tree at a mirror site. This is the one I use:

ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/redhat/redhat/linux/updates/8.0/en/os/i386.

Download the file then run:

rpm -Uvh /yourfilepath/yourfilename

This will update iptables, but it won't change your config files. If the current version isn't running correctly then updating probably won't solve your problem. Hope this helps, Jeff
