Something messed with /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Something changed /etc/sysconfig/iptables back to what looks to be the
default initial rules within the last couple of days. rpm shows that file
as unowned (no packages provide it). iptables doesn't appear to have been
updated recently so i don't think an update did that. Is the firewall state
saved someplace else?
I did use the gui selinux configuration interface, but not (knowingly) the
gui firewall interface. Normally I use service iptables save command when
I want to save something complicated or just edit the file directly when
it is a simple change. (Followed by service iptables restart to make sure
the rules are (will be) loaded correctly.)
