Description Shlomi Fish 2011-11-17 09:25:54 CET

Description of problem:

/etc/init.d/iptables is not available - so one cannot do "/etc/init.d/iptables stop". Right now the procedure for nullifying the iptables rules is more complex and caused my laptop to become unavailable after I did it improperly.

Please provide /etc/init.d/iptables again.

OK, now I found out (after examining the iptables' .spec file) that /etc/init.d/iptables is now present in /usr/lib64/iptables (or "/usr/lib" on 32-bit systems) if systemd is enabled. So a valid workaround would be to run "/usr/lib64/iptables stop" as root.

Actually since we are switching to systemd, iptables have been converted to native systemd service, so the right command is:

systemctl stop iptables.service


or you can use the "old" service command, so:

service iptables stop

@ Shlomi

Does that work OK for you, so that this bug can be closed?

I guess. Closing.
