    Hello,

    I would like to ask for help.
    I had pretty well configured iptables with fail2ban rulez, but suddenly iptables are empty - but completly.
    Code:
    root@root:~# iptables -L
    root@root:~# ip6tables -L
    Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
    target     prot opt source               destination
    
    Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
    target     prot opt source               destination
    
    Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
    target     prot opt source               destination
    
    As you can see, ip6tables do some response but iptables -L does nothing

    I was used to save iptables before reboot to file manualy, but I set crontab daily backup script
    Code:
    !/bin/bash
    iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules

    Code:
    :~$ ls -l /sbin/iptables
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar  1  2013 /sbin/iptables -> xtables-multi
    
    and it seems from now it does nothing. I even tried to uninstall iptables package and install it again but without success. Is there a way how to fix this? Thanks

    EDIT:

    problem solved : as I wrote ... i had this script in usr/local/bin/iptablessave and in crontab ... it seems it was renewing the file all the time so it blocked normal iptables.
