RE: /etc/sysconfig/iptables does not load on reboot

Thanks for all the helpful hints!

goodhost=2.6.9-1.667smp
badhost=2.6.9-1.667

Not sure what the "smp" is.

I will try loading on badhost the version with the same kernel on goodhost
and see if that fixes the problem.

I just meant that the output from 'iptables -L' does not show the same
thing. The rules are correctly applied when running 'iptables-restore' later
on, but not all the rules are correctly applied at startup.

Now that you've helped me to realise that I'm not using the same kernel,
I'll try that first, and if the problem persits go on to all your other
helpful suggestions. My only problem is that I won't have physical access to
the server again until later this week.

Here is my credit card info:

Visa - 5515 2363 5124 1234

Mother's maiden name: Ima Galible

Just let me know if you need my social security number, too. For security
reasons, I'd rather mail that to you privately.

Thanks again!
