You can see if the firewall on Linux is running by using the command: iptables -L -n as the root user. If you see any rules displayed, then the firewall is running. To turn it off temporarily, use the command service iptables stop as the root user. To turn it on again: service iptables start as the root user. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer <a href="mailto:rstevens@vitalstream.com"> rstevens@vitalstream.com</a> - - VitalStream, Inc. <a href="http://www.vitalstream.com">http://www.vitalstream.com</a> - - - - Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-install-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Redhat-install-list@redhat.com">Redhat-install-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list</a> To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: <a href="mailto:redhat-install-list-request@redhat.com">redhat-install-list-request@redhat.com</a> Subject: unsubscribe </blockquote></div> -- There are 10 types of people, those who understand binary and those who don't.
