It sounds as though you are mixing up instructions that are appropriate to different systems. The chkconfig stuff is for systems such as RedHat that support it. The scripts from rc.local are more generic Linux instructions. What version of RH are you running? The iptables script in init.d comes with the iptables RPM, so this suggests you have never installed one. I would recommend you go back and install the RPM because the format of an init.d script is more than just the first comment lines for chkconfig compatibility. It is not the same as a script that would normally be run from rc.local. Also, starting at S80 allows nearly all your network services to fire up with no firewall protection.
What I would suggest is... 1. remove the firewall script from init and rc.local(but save it) 2. install the latest RPM. 3. run the script to install your iptables settings. 4. when they are OK, run "service iptables save". This will store your settings for the next time you boot. whenever you need to change the settings, edit your script and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
