  • RHEL 6.6 /etc/sysconfig/iptables missing

    Posted on

    I just attempted changing install media on an existing RHEL 6.5 kickstart to RHEL 6.6 and it would appear that the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file is no longer generated during install.

    Is this desired behaviour? It results in the iptables service 'start' failing with exit code 6 on first boot.

    I have found a bug raised in Bugzilla
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161682

    Also have reference to multiple people seeing this issue in CentOS 6.6
    http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2014-November/147702.html

    Can anyone advise what process/script/package is responsible for /etc/sysconfig/iptables creation? (Bugzilla suggests Anaconda, can anyone confirm?)
