Accidentally deleted /etc/init.d/iptables script

Anyone know where or how I can retrieve the default /etc/init.d/iptables
script for RH9 with the latest iptables rpms?

I have the rpm file if there is some way of extracting it


thanks

"--force" == "get a bigger hammer". Not always the best idea.

You may want to check that your rpm database is not corrupted now.
Specifically, do an 'rpm -q name.of.package' and see that it does
not indicate the package is installed twice. If that's the case, you
may have to uninstall the package with the '--allmatches' option,
then reinstall it. Unfortunately, the man page doesn't give all the
clues necessary for replacing missing files.

For future reference, you can extract single files
from an rpm using mc. Drill down the rpm to the file
you want and F5 to copy it where you want it.
