[webmin-l] Linux Firewall not restarting at boot

[SafelistSmart S. <saf...@co...>]

Since upgrading to Webmin 1.230, upon rebooting the server Linux Firewall is 
either not starting or is starting but not fully activating the last set of 
saved rules.  When I look at iptables in Bootup/Shutdown after a reboot I 
see "status unknown".   When viewing status after activating my rules from 
within the Linux Firewall module the bootup/shutdown edit page for iptables 
times out.  This leads me to believe that I am not getting a full restart of 
iptables upon reboot.  (NOTE: The time outs of the boot/shutdown edit page 
is not an issue here.  It likely occurs because of the large number of rules 
I keep active - and indicates to me that all is running correctly).

This problem at reboot seems to be the same whether I have Linux Firewall 
configured for editing of the save file or to edit the iptables file 
directly, or if I simply edit the iptables files by hand.

Any suggestions? I am on Redhat Linux 7.3.
