Full Discussion: Turn off firewall in RH8.0
Operating Systems Linux Turn off firewall in RH8.0 Post 68496 by kduffin on Tuesday 5th of April 2005 12:45:07 AM

As root/root equivalent on your system, type the following:

# chkconfig --list | grep iptables

You'll see something similar to: iptables 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

If you see "on" in rows 3, 4, and 5, it means the firewall will be started on system startup. To disable auto startup, type the following:

# chkconfig iptables off

How are you disabling the firewall? You can do so by typing the following:

# service iptables stop

If the "iptables stop" fails, try:

# service ipchains stop

Please let me know if the above doesn't work.

NAME
fwb_ipt - Policy compiler for Cisco PIX SYNOPSIS
fwb_pix -fdata_file.xml [-V] [-dwdir] [-i] [-v] [-xc] [-xt] object_name DESCRIPTION
fwb_pix is firewall policy compiler component of Firewall Builder (see fwbuilder(1)). Compiler reads objects definitions and firewall description from the data file specified with "-f" option and generates resultant Cisco PIX configuration file. The configuration is writ- ten to the file with the name the same as the name of the firewall object, plus extension ".fw". The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be specified on the command line. Other command line parameters are optional. OPTIONS
-f FILE Specify the name of the data file to be processed. -d wdir Specify working directory. Compiler creates file with PIX configuration in this directory. If this parameter is missing, then PIX configuration will be placed in the current working directory. -v Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it works. -V Print version number and quit. -i When this option is present, the last argument on the command line is supposed to be firewall object ID rather than its name -xc When output file name is determined automatically (i.e. flags -o or -O are not present), the file name is composed of the cluster name and member firewall name rather than just member firewall name. This is used mostly for testing when the same member firewall object can be a part of different clusters with different configurations. -xt This flag makes compiler treat all fatal errors as warnings and continue processing rules. Generated configuration script most likely will be incorrect but will include error message as a comment; this flag is used for testing and debugging. URL
