From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: IPtables rules work however sometimes they just stop working (even though iptables is still running). Doing an iptable -L shows all the rules are still there. To resolve the issue the rules have to be flushed /etc/sysconfig/iptables deleted, networking restarted and the iptables rules re-added. This is happening on a lot of our servers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: There is no way i have found to reproduce the problem. It just seems to happen randomly after the servers have been running for a while. Additional info:
This is almost certainly not related to the userland iptables tools (they just control the kernel iptables implementation).
(QA contact changed to reflect package change) We need kernel version and architecture to help in the debugging, if you can give the output of `uname -a`, that would help (apologies in advance if more info is needed). Also, how are you detecting the failure? (new entries in logfiles? tcpdump?)
Closed - no info can't dupe. If you have more please re-open
