On a default CentOS installation, when trying to execute the service iptables
save command you can get an error like iptables: Saving firewall rules to
/etc/sysconfig/iptables: /etc/init.d/iptables: line 274: restorecon: command not
found.
I'm developing an open source monitoring app called Leaf Node Monitoring, for windows, linux & android. Go check it out!

This is fixed easily by installing the policycoreutils package, which is
available in the default CentOS repositories:
yum install policycoreutils
After installation the service iptables save command works without errors.
