How do I disable/stop iptables/Guarddog?
 
Simple problem but no help found in manual/searchers: how do I turn my firewall off? I'm currently fiddling with Samba and fear that I maybe killing it with a misconfigured firewall.

I have recently installed (and updated) Sidux, kernel 2.6.23.14 so everything is up-to-date.

to temporarily turn it off, you can do it through startup scripts, i.e., as root:

/etc/init.d/iptables stop

to stop it permanently, remove the link from your default runlevel. i.e. "rm /etc/rc2.d/S30iptables" - or whatever it's called.

In Guarddog, go start the firewall configuration manager and go to the Advanced tab. Check Disable Firewall and go OK. To disable it from the command line, although not a persistent solution, use

Code:
$ sudo iptables -F
$ sudo iptables -X
$ sudo iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
$ sudo iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
$ sudo iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
EDIT: beat me to it, had the edit page open too long :D

Such a rapid response! I stepped away to watch 'Damages' in the box and came back to two (yes, TWO) totally valid answers!

Many thanks BrianK and sydney-troz.
