Description of Problem: Updating iptables with the iptables-1.2.4-0.71.2.i386.rpm configures iptables service off at all runlevels. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.4-0.71.2 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.chkconfig --list iptables [shows on at runlevels 345] 2.rpm -Fvh iptables-1.2.4-0.71.2.i386.rpm 3.chkconfig --list iptables [shows off at all runlevels] Actual Results: The iptables rules in effect remain in effect until the next boot, when iptables quietly ceases to protect the system. This causes a significant security exposure to be quietly introduced into systems relying on iptables. Expected Results: Updating iptables should leave the iptables service configured on at all runlevels which it was previously on. Additional Information: I have not tested the iptables updates for other RH versions 6.x or 7.2 but someone should.
