Hi all,

today I found this error with the iptables/ip6tables units, does anybody know what is happening?

Perhaps you want to pay attention to this line right here. There is only a sample config shipped with iptables.

Nov 04 00:00:01 heybeavis systemd[1]: iptables.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Nov 04 00:00:01 heybeavis systemd[1]: Failed to start Packet Filtering Framework. Nov 04 00:00:01 heybeavis systemd[1]: Unit iptables.service entered failed state

This have me a little disoriented since iptables are built in the stock kernel, the one I'm using o_0

Some day people will read their own error messages.
