Description of problem: When I run /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables restart I break ntpd. I suggest the iptables script on (re)start checks the status of ntpd, and if ntpd is running it should restart ntpd (or at least print a warning message) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iptables-1.2.7a-2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables restart 2. wait awhile 3. /usr/sbin/ntpq -c peers Actual results: ntpd losses sync with upstream servers Additional info: Should be trivial shell script change. /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntpd status exits with an error code if ntpd is not running. I could do it myself if asked.
Please open ntp ports for your ntp servers in the iptables configuration. There is no way that ipatbles can restart other services and this might not be a good idea for some services. Closing as NOTABUG.
