Cobbler on a OpenVZ container / "dhcpd" failing

Dear All:

An add-on question:
It seems to me that "iptables" might be the problem.
I issue the commands:
   chkconfig iptables off
   service iptables stop
But when checking with
   service iptables status
I see that iptables are still active.

Anyone has an idea what to do -- given this is a container/VPS on a 
OpenVZ server running cobbler?


Best,
Frank
