Hi,

service iptables stop

It is stopped

chkconfig --level 345 iptables off

It is not restarted at reboot.

Of course, you're not protected anymore...

Hope it helps

/usr/bin/redhat-config-securitylevel-tui --quiet --disabled

the "--quiet --disbled" options allow you to run this command without having to explicitly navigate menus

hi peterchu,

type ntsysv

with this tool you can enable or disable all services on your box. disable (uncheck) all services that are called iptables, ipchains, firewall or so to deactivate the firewall. then there are three ways to procced:

1) you need to reboot to make changes working (this is the simpliest one)
2) type init 1 wait until reday and then type init 3 (without Xserver), or init 5 (with Xserve).
3) type service iptables stop, service ipchains stop, ... to stop the services (i'm not sure if iptables, ipchains or firewall are the correct spelled service names, have a look at directory /etc/rc.d/init.d. the filenames are equal to the service names.

best regards,

johannes

If you want to see what's in your firewall ruleset, use:
# iptables -L

Or, to remove all rules (similar to turning the firewall off):
# iptables -F
