To my knowledge, iptables is not a service, but a part of the kernel. Why do
you think that it is not working?

Because "service iptables" has started it before.

I locked myself out last night from SSH because I used --dport 21:23 instead 
of --dport ! 21:23; so I came in this morning and plugged in someone else's 
keyboard into it and logged in and typed "service iptables stop", there was 
no monitor so (even if I could read it) no message was displayed, but it 
must have stopped because I now have my SSH access in place.
