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..

@ Wash. Did you find a solution for the above issue? In my little experience with IPTables and CentOS is that you are not supposed to manually edit your conf' file You need to add the rules from the shell in this fashion... *iptables -A ..................................* and then save the rules. *service iptables save* and then restart the service.

@Mugo, I did not find the solution myself. I asked the VPS provider to find it and they did. What beats me is the fact that the VPS has something called Parallels, which one can use to modify the firewall rules, but using that did not work for me. Unfortunately, I am so used to the CLI that using web UIs to manage servers has never been something I am keen on. Thanks though for the information. I will play with this on a test machine in VMWare and see how it works. On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 11:17, m mugo <mugo2of3@gmail.com> wrote:
@ Wash.
Did you find a solution for the above issue?
In my little experience with IPTables and CentOS is that you are not supposed to manually edit your conf' file
You need to add the rules from the shell in this fashion...
*iptables -A ..................................*
and then save the rules.
*service iptables save*
and then restart the service.

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.

@Wash, you can save your new rules in a script and let them be run with the others scheduled for startup, for instance by placing them in /etc/profile. This I would do if a *iptables -s* does not save my newly created (security) policies. Martin.

Hey Wash, Am not a guru either but some pointers here; What you say is possible if you for example; - Something is flushing your iptables on boot <eg. some commands may be placed here /etc/rc.local> - You didnt save your iptables rules <you could test by restarting the iptables b4 you reboot - service iptables restart> - The iptables-config file is modified not to save on reboot </etc/sysconfig/iptables-config> You could also exec a simple command on CLI then <service iptables save>, then <reboot> - see if it saves. Wilson./ Martin.

Hey Wash,
Am not a guru either but some pointers here;
What you say is possible if you for example;
- Something is flushing your iptables on boot <eg. some commands may be placed here /etc/rc.local>
- You didnt save your iptables rules <you could test by restarting the iptables b4 you reboot - service iptables restart>
- The iptables-config file is modified not to save on reboot </etc/sysconfig/iptables-config>
You could also exec a simple command on CLI then <service iptables save>, then <reboot> - see if it saves.
@Thou - something is flushing my iptables on boot. That is what I need to find out. I have RTFMs and I am very sure I am saving correctly. I am not competent with Linux security so this is rather baffling, yet I am not even so willing to learn that aspect of Linux. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
