Hello,
I have installed SUSE 12 with the firewall disabled:
<enable_firewall config:type=“boolean”>false</enable_firewall>
<start_firewall config:type=“boolean”>false</start_firewall>
But iptables is showing one INPUT chain:
iptables -L -n
Chain INPUT
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT 47 — 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
Would you have any idea on how to disable iptables during the SLES installation?
Thanks and BR/
If that’s all you see, then that makes sense. A disabled firewall
effectively allows everything in all directions. To see the actual rules,
try /usr/sbin/iptables-save and youll probably see nothing other than
comments about where rules would be in their respective sections.
You cannot completely disable the firwall; it’s appropriately part of the
kernel, which means to disable it you must unload the kernel (aka
shutdown/power-off).

Good luck.
