firewall-config-should it be empty?

[linmail at itab.com]

Shades of "All your base are belong to us."

When I do ipchians -L all the rules are there. But when I launch 
firewall-config it has no rules in it. It knows where the rules are 
because if I try to add one with activate it says, "You are about to 
delete an eventually manual created /etc/sysconfig/ipchains."
"What you say?"

Shouldn't it list the exiting rules?
