Thanks for reporting this.

In case system-config-firewall is started from the menu -> System ->
Administration -> Firewall. The program system-config-firewall runs
under the normal user "sluser", which has no permission to change the
firewall config. That's why you get the error "IOError: Permission
denied: /etc/sysconfig/iptables.old"

It should work, if you run the firewall configuration as root from the
command line:

su -
system-config-firewall

This all happens because I do not set a root password and give all
rights to the sluser via /etc/sudoers

sluser     ALL=(ALL)     NOPASSWD: ALL

This seems to "confuse" system-config-firewall when starting as normal
user.

I have to think about how to solve this problem ... any suggestions are
welcome.
