It's no longer in /etc/sysconfig/iptables.

Mine are there...

$ sudo cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-firewall
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
......

Have you exec system-config-firewall ?

Fedora 19 used FirewallD by default (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD). If you prefer to use the iptables initscripts, you need to install iptables-services and issue 'systemctl disable firewalld'.

Use firewall-cmd to filter by MAC address?

In a previous version of Fedora I had iptables rules of the form:

-A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 25 -m mac --mac-source  AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF -j ACCEPT

in order to accept email only from selected local systems.

Ive just installed Fedora 20, and Im trying to implement the same kind of thing using:

 firewall-cmd

but Ive been unable to figure out how to do this. Any thoughts?

IPTables not flushing on Fedora?

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?

Java symbolic links broken on Fedora 19

I have a system that I upgraded from Fedora 18 to 19 recently and I just installed eclipse, but it says that there's no JVM when I try and run it. I noticed that /usr/bin/java is a symbolic link to
/etc/alternatives/java which is then a symbolic link to
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk/bin/java but it's actually installed at
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.i386/bin/java.

Is this an issue from the update from Fedora 18 to 19? Or is it an issue with the packages in Fedora 19?

Transmission daemon does not start on Fedora 19

I'm having trouble starting transmission-daemon. When I try to start it with systemctl, it hangs:

 # systemctl start transmission-daemon.service

If I let it be for a few minutes (~5), it finishes with a failure. The log is extremely unhelpful. This is very strange because it was working just fine until a few days ago.

ping -R on Fedora 18 does not work (firewall problem)

When I try:

 ping -R www.google.com

I get:

PING www.google.com (173.194.113.112) 56(124) bytes of data.

but the list of nodes does not appear, and I wait for more than 5 minutes. traceroute www.google.com gives immediately the list of nodes.

This is fedora 18, iptables stopped (and flushed), firewalld stopped.Could it be somehow due to not flushing firewalld rules ? (I don't know much about firewalld)
