Disabling firewall - possible?
 

Hi.

When i installed FC4 i could enable it's firewall, because i'm not that familiar with the iptables yet i would like to turn it off, is it possible?

For turning it off immediately
service iptables stop
&
For keeping it switched off for next restart in mentioned run-levels.
chkconfig --level 345 iptables off

great! thanks a lot

just one more question..

i stopped the process successfully but when i tried to start it over again it stays stopped, do i have to restart to make it run again?

service iptables start
or
service iptables restart

i thought that should be it, but after that if i do
"service --status-all|grep running"
i dont see it on the list

service iptables status
or
service --status-all | grep stopped

& check whether its being listed in stopped services or not.

Look for word firewall.

[infernal@fedora .Azureus]$ sudo /sbin/service --status-all|grep -i firewall
cat: /var/run/dhcdbd.pid: No such file or directory
Device not specified in /etc/sysconfig/diskdump
Firewall is stopped. <<<<
rndc: connect failed: connection refused
Server address not specified in /etc/sysconfig/netdump

yeah the firewall is stopped
the rest i don't know what they are..
