    Okay. I figured out what was happening with this. As it turns out I
    recently added a line to the kickstart postscript section in which I
    lowercase everything within the webroot with a batch file that I created.
    The line was like this:

    /bin/lcase.batch -R /var/www/webroot

    But I don't understand why this could affact iptables. I use -R because
    there are several directories within the webroot I need to lowercase.
    However, when I changed the line to this:

    /bin/lcase.batch /var/www/webroot/samples
    /bin/lcase.batch /var/www/webroot/graphics
    /bin/lcase.batch /var/www/webroot/audio

    I still had the problem I described earlier with iptables not working. What
    is happening here? Why is _everything_ being lowercased (with or without
    the -R)? Thanks. R.
