Try reading the replying posts again.

"service iptables stop" will stop it now, and only now.  Likewise with
using it to start or restart a service.

What happens when booting/changing run levels is controlled by something
else.  The chkconfig command can control that, and list what levels the
service will be on or off at.

e.g. chkconfig --list iptables
     chkconfig iptables off 
     chkconfig --list iptables

[tim at localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
