Hi Folks,

I am facing one straign problem in Centos. i have installed Urchin6 software in my centos server and it is working on 9999 port i have allowed 9999 port for outside network through iptalbes INPUT chain by adding the below rule in filter tables INPUT chain.

"/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i ${PUB_IF} -p tcp --destination-port 9999 -j ACCEPT"

My problem is when i am saving this rule and restarting the iptables service, the rule is working fine. all can able to access archin6 web page from outside network (Publuc) but after one day, i am not able to access that Urchin6 web page.

after restating the iptables service its again work for one more day anf the next day its not working. i have checked /etc/sysconfig/iptables and /etc/sysconfig/iptables.save files, the rule is already there. i cant understand what happen with iptables why it is blocking the web page after one day evenif it has a rules under INPUT chain with ACCEPT permission.

Please help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks in Advanced

You can check the log file to see what is happening to iptables..
