<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Richard Couture at 30/10/12 21:33 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> I am teaching a class on administration of GNU &amp; Linux using Mageia 2 at
</I>&gt;<i> one of the State of Jalisco's offices and while teaching iptables I
</I>&gt;<i> noted that reload no longer is supported with this service.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I have always used it in the past to avoid disconnecting people with
</I>&gt;<i> restart if whatever changes I made to the tables were not relevant to
</I>&gt;<i> their connection.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Has something changed in iptables/netfilter where restart works like
</I>&gt;<i> reload used to work, or have we lost some functionality?
</I>

Well, traditionally, the &quot;reload&quot; operation has not generally been
supported on singleshot services (which iptables.service is), however, a
patch was recently committed upstream which I suspect you will like:


<A HREF="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=2abba39d759bacebd7461f7370bb108f48dcce92">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=2abba39d759bacebd7461f7370bb108f48dcce92</A>

This is now available in cauldron, but the iptables.service file needs
to be updated to include the correct line in the unit:

ExecReload=/usr/lib64/iptables.init reload


I'll make a note to update the iptables package (but someone is welcome
to beat me to it).
