I'm playing around with iptables and have inserted a few new rules. Now, I want to flush them all so I use
iptables -F
Then, I restart the firewall with
service iptables restart
and everything looks like it's restarting alright. But when I list the rules using
iptables -L
I get a list of rules THAT INCLUDE all of the rules I've defined before the flush!
Am I reading this wrong or is something weird with my iptables?
Thanks, Anthony

First, I think it is best to confirm the version of Fedora you're running. Also, you're wanting to use the iptables service so, you've disabled firewalld and enabled iptables?

I'm running F18 and, no, I did not disable firewalld. I'm completely new to configurable firewalls and didn't even know firewalld was running. I assumed iptables was the default firewall in place. lol

If you are using iptables, then after an iptables rules flush/change, you need to do a 'service iptables save' to make the rules flush/change persistent*, before the iptables restart.
