IPTables not flushing?

[Anthony]

I'm playing around with iptables and have inserted a few new rules.
Now, I want to flush them all so I use

iptables -F

Then, I restart the firewall with

service iptables restart

and everything looks like it's restarting alright. But when I list the
rules using

iptables -L

I get a list of rules THAT INCLUDE all of the rules I've defined
before the flush!

Am I reading this wrong or is something weird with my iptables?

Thanks,
Anthony

First, I think it is best to confirm the version of Fedora you're running.  Also,
you're wanting to use the iptables service so, you've disabled firewalld and
enabled iptables?

If you are using iptables, then after an iptables rules flush/change,
you need to do a 'service iptables save' to make the rules flush/change
persistent*, before the iptables restart.

*/etc/sysconfig/iptables

I'm running F18 and, no, I did not disable firewalld. I'm completely
new to configurable firewalls and didn't even know firewalld was
running. I assumed iptables was the default firewall in place. lol
