Iptables error

Hi,

I am running CentOs 5 and every time i try to restart my iptables "service iptables restart", I get this error message:

Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ]
Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ]
Applying iptables firewall rules: iptables-restore: line 44 failed
[FAILED]
now my line 44 is just the word "COMMIT"

It never used to do this.

Now here are the last few lines of my /etc/sysconfig/iptables file


-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 216.125.253.135 -j ACCEPT




-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 216.125.253.20 -j ACCEPT

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
COMMIT

If you can see any problems or can help me fix this please let me know.

Thanks

What is after the COMMIT line?
Did you edit these rules by hand?
