iptables doesn't inherently save state data. Redhat 8.0 might do 
something along those lines, but if you are really trying to play with 
the iptables rules, it is probably best to disable the redhat stuff and 
build your own startup / shutdown scripts so that you really know what 
is going on under the hood.
