The configuration is stored in /etc/sysconfig/iptables.
This is very curious .. I don't have a file /etc/sysconfig/iptables, and when I enter /etc/service iptables status, nothing appears. 'rpm -qa|grep lokkit' shows: lokkit-0.50-18 ... I don't have gnome-lokkit installed. I wonder what's going on here? What should I do to restore it to working order (perhaps reload iptables, lokkit .. anything else?).
