yes, that's iptables does - it configures firewalling.

tada.

If it's RedHat or Fedora:

 	chkconfig iptables off

(you'll need to rename the script back to iptables). You might want 
to google for 'system V init' and/or 'sysv init'.

If it's some other distribution, which uses system V init, look in 
/etc/rc{3,5}.d/ - you'll see symlinks there of the form 
'Sxyiptables', these are what are causing iptables to be run at boot.
