Are you actually running this as root?

[rmvg]

yes i am running this as root is that bad?

[phoenix]

yes i am running this as root is that bad?

No, that's what you should be doing. That error usually arises because it's not run as root or you haven't done an 'su - root' - do you have the hypen in there when you su?

[imarks001]

Do you get the same results if you run "/sbin/iptables -nL"?

[rmvg]

nope i get this

/sbin/iptables -nL
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

then this
[root@canmail zcs]# /sbin/service iptables status

You shouldn't need to run that command with '/sbin/' in the path, if you do you're not running as root. What happens if you leave the path off that command?

[rmvg]

sbin is not in my path

# service iptables status
bash: service: command not found
[root@canmail imapscripts]#
