I'd suggest you do a recursive grep on all init scripts searching for iptables... something like grep iptables -r /etc/init.d should do. Maybe the VPS owners added something of their own.. I doubt you did the CentOs install.

Imagine I have RTFMed.... So I am sure as what I am doing is so documented.
What they have not told me is WTF is flushing the rules on reboot:)

CentOS release 5.7. It's a VPS and I have access to a web UI called parallels.

I edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables manually and I save the changes, restart iptables and the changes work! When I reboot, all changes are lost!!

Not being that good with Linux, I need some help with some component that is disturbing my peace:

When I modify iptables manually and reboot, some monster in the system comes and replaces my manually added rules.

How do I kill the monster, or rather tell it to accept my rules??
