[wplug] redhat 9 firewall problem

[Mike Griffin]

I'm just guessing from documents read in the past:

Try looking for a file named iptables-save or something similiar. 
Something like that could be checked for by a cron job or looked for in 
an initial attempt by the init script. I'm pretty sure RH falls under 
this default behavior.

Might also want to check out the commands  iptables-save and 
iptables-restore to understand the behavior.
