This should not be a duplicate of #748134 as it is a bug with the documentation. The guide at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Security_Guide/sect-Security_Guide-Using_IPTables-Saving_and_Restoring_IPTables_Rules.html still says "service iptables save" is how you save iptables rules. This should be /usr/libexec/iptables.init save
