Description Nathan G. Grennan 2003-07-21 02:24:51 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.11 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030720

Description of problem:
I had run four iptables commands and then ran "service iptables save".
I received this output:

Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables: cp: cannot stat
`/etc/sysconfig/iptables': No such file or directory


I then touched /etc/sysconfig/iptables and ran "service iptables save" again.
This time it worked.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iptables-1.2.8-7.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure /etc/sysconfig/iptables doesn't exist
2. Add some iptables rules
3. Run service iptables save
    

Actual Results:  Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables: cp: cannot
stat `/etc/sysconfig/iptables': No such file or directory


Expected Results:  Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables:          [
 OK  ]
