vi /etc/init.d/iptables

 

check inside for anything it's testing for to exist before it'll even run the = script.

From memory it checks for /etc/sysconfig/iptables file which contains the = rules you want to add to the machine, if this doesn't exist then the script = stops..

 

I would remove all of the script contents and write your own iptables script, = it's not hard once you know exaclty what you want for a = firewall..
