Hello,

I keep on stopping the FW on my RHEL6.3 server with the service iptables stop command and then chkconfig iptables off. This stops the FW for a while but a few hours later it's back running. How can I stop it so that it does not keep on restarting?

Cheers

Nick
 
Code:
[sudo] yum remove iptables -y

Hello,

At RHEL5 I used the following syntax to disable the FW and it worked fine:-

iptables save
service iptables stop
chkconfig iptables stop
chkconfig iptables off
service iptables status

You do the above and all is fine for an hour or three and then it's up and running again. So last night I used system-config-firewall to disable it and so far so good!

I have checked all our RHEL & OL 6* servers and they are all doing the same, a bit strange me thinks!
