<div>For some reason we were locked out out our box this morning
and iptables was showing our IP. To solve the problem quickly I
simply ran:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>service iptables restart</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The problem was solved although I was a little surprised to
find this didn't load any rules at all - it started and is
running but iptables -L -n shows it'll accept pretty much
anything.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What restart command is used to start iptables with the
standard rules/chains in place? Maybe I'm misunderstanding
something, so any help would be great.</div>

You need to edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config<br>
if you want to save rules when you restart / reboot<br>
But in your case it may have locked you out... make sure you have an
early rule to allow your own IP<br>
