No idea WHY it changed … but I have validated that the exact same behavior exists in RHEL 6.6. A minimal RHEL 6.6 install shows these files only in /etc/sysconfig/ [root@localhost sysconfig]# ls | grep tables ip6tables-config iptables-config So this is the same as upstream, and therefore the expected (even if not the desired) results on CentOS 6.6. I also see this: http://bugs.CentOS.org/view.php?id=7831 Which while not DIRECTLY related, will need to be solved to run: system-config-firefall-tui (If you want to generate an /etc/sysconfig/iptables file) Thanks, Johnny Hughes
Filed an upstream bug so that they can clarify if this is the desired result: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161682
Thanks for opening the bugzilla, Johnny. We just discovered this issue on minimal netinstall as well. Grant
