You need to remove the lines for automatic module loading and external 
automatic module loading, that is all there is. Yes, it is a good 
replacement, and a very good upgrade for what somebody made in the far 
east. Just try as follows (I did it so):
mkdir rc5.d/orig
mv iptables orig
/etc/init.d/firewall.iptables
ln -s ../iinit.d/firewall.iptable S960firewall.iprables  // formally in 
front of xinetd, you should be paranoya ;-)
in /etc -> /etc/firewall.iptables.conf   and do not forget to edit that 
@!#@$
same for rc3.d of course, perhaps I made a typo, but I am not totally 
ready with Fedora and thus on Micro-soft, so I cannot no check it.

Alexander the Great died on the age of 33 by jumping in a cold bath in 
Susan, don't do that ever pls. ;-)
