The closest thing I can imagine to a clean slate is flushing all the built-in tables by name, restoring the default policy for each table to ACCEPT, and running iptables -X to delete all user-generated tables: iptables -t nat -F iptables -t nat -P ACCEPT iptables -t raw -F iptables -t raw -P ACCEPT iptables -t mangle -F iptables -t mangle -P ACCEPT iptables -t filter -F iptables -t filter -P ACCEPT iptables -X '-t filter' is redundant as it's the default but I showed it here for clarity. Maybe there's an argument that's shorthand for some or all of this, but I'm not aware of one. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
