Iptables error when Setting Chains to Policy ACCEPT

[prgs1971]

In the last Centos 6.4 64bits i am getting this error:

Code: [Select]

iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: security raw nat[FAILED]filter
when i run

Code: [Select]

service iptables restart
Did anybody experienced already this issue?

I found the fix for restart or start iptables regarding the error message in http://sysadmin.techmentor.com/2012/12/ ... -iptables/

But the patch will not work, you must fix it manually.

- to fix it you must edit the file /etc/init.d/iptables by:
           

Code: [Select]

vim /etc/init.d/iptables- around line 138 look for the following code:
                   

Code: [Select]

echo -n $"${IPTABLES}: Setting chains to policy $policy: "
                    ret=0
                    for i in $tables; do
                        echo -n "$i "
                        case "$i" in
                            raw)
                                $IPTABLES -t raw -P PREROUTING $policy
                                    && $IPTABLES -t raw -P OUTPUT $policy
                                    || let ret+=1
                                ;;- now replace it for this one:
                   

Code: [Select]

echo -n $"${IPTABLES}: Setting chains to policy $policy: "
                    ret=0
                    for i in $tables; do
                        echo -n "$i "
                        case "$i" in
                            security)
                                $IPTABLES -t security -P INPUT $policy
                                && $IPTABLES -t security -P OUTPUT $policy
                                && $IPTABLES -t security -P FORWARD $policy
                                || let ret+=1
                                ;;
                            raw)
                                $IPTABLES -t raw -P PREROUTING $policy
                                    && $IPTABLES -t raw -P OUTPUT $policy
                                    || let ret+=1
                                ;;* hit key "Ins" so that you go to edit mode and be able to insert text
* hit key "Esc" to leave edit mode
* hit key ":" + key "x" + key "Enter" to save and close the file

- to test if is fixed:
           

Code: [Select]

service iptables restart
- the good output will be like this:
                   

Code: [Select]

[root@server]# service iptables restart
                    iptables: Flushing firewall rules:                         [  OK  ]
                    iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: security raw nat[  OK  ]filter
                    iptables: Unloading modules:                               [  OK  ]
                    [root@server]#
- A bad output will be like this:

Code: [Select]

[code][root@server ~]# service iptables restart
            iptables: Flushing firewall rules:                         [  OK  ]
            iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: security raw nat[FAILED]filter
            iptables: Unloading modules:                           [  OK  ]     [/code]
