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
