If I do an iptables --list, right after I restart iptables, my 3 rules are

but it seems pretty consistently around then.  I looked in the
/etc/sysconfig/iptables and the rules are still there.  Does anyone have any
idea why they are disappearing from the running config?

No, I don't see anything there.  I was thinking iptables had some
anti-hacker feature I was working against.  I can't find anything in the
docs though.  It's only the changes I have made are getting shut down.  The
iptables file isn't being changed but the new entries just seem to die.

They are all the standard from QMT build.  The only thing I have done beyond
the QMT build is add Webmin, Backup exec, and Splunk.

I've been playing with this for about a week now and I'm pretty confused
where it could be coming from.

check your cron jobs, maybe something is flushing iptables every 15 mins.

OK, I give up.  I realize this is off topic but it's the only real linux
forum I'm on.
On my QMT machine, I installed Webmin.  I also tried to install Backup
Exec client.  They both use port 10,000 so I went into Webmin and moved the
port to 11,111 and opened that in the iptables. I also installed Splunk on
port 8000.   I saved the iptables file.  The problem is that those will
close after about 15 minutes and I have to restart iptables but they will
keep closing.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Phil
