RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Zbysek MRAZ 2010-08-13 15:58:45 UTC
1, Whole section, every appearance of exclamation mark (!) usage *after* the option is deprecated and system prints a warning about it. For sake of consistency please change the usage of exclamation mark to be *BEFORE* the option not after.

2, in section 2.6.2.2. Command Options
-C — Checks a particular rule before adding it to the user-specified chain. This command can help you construct complex iptables rules by prompting you for additional parameters and options. 
-> not present in current version

3, in section 2.6.3. Saving IPTables Rules
there is in NOTE mentioned the /sbin/iptables command and /sbin/iptables service.
Shouldn't the service be "/sbin/service iptables" as a service? 

4, in section 2.6.4. IPTables Control Scripts
Firewall Configuration Tool (system-config-securitylevel) - system-config-securitylevel is not present in RHEL6, there is system-config-firewall(-tui)
