Hi, Jared. In Red Hat 9 you have two choices for disabling the firewall. You can simply stop the service will be down until you restart, or you can turn it off for good. If you just want to turn it off for a while you can use the service command while logged in as root as follows: service iptables stop To restart the service: service iptables start If you want to turn iptables off completely: chkconfig --level 35 iptables off To turn it back on: chkconfig --level 35 iptables on ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jared" <jared-stofflett@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 11:04 PM Subject: RE: Enabling ssh access in red hat 9 > Can someone tell me how to disable my firewall?
