Debian Stable doesn’t seem to have an init.d script, or the services application, or the chkconfig application. How does one start/stop/restart the iptables service on Debian?

HI,
I am very confused about iptables status.

I stopped my iptables by running ” service iptables stop”, later on i checked wheter it is really running or not by running “service iptables status”. It shows me ” Firewall is disabled”. If I run iptables -L it shows me the list of INPUT/OUTPUT/FORWARD Chains. If again i will run ” service iptables status” it will show me againall chains. What it really means, does iptables start auutomatically when I type ” iptables -L”? Please reply lots of confusion!!!

Thanks in advance.

Hey Amie:

Try connecting with a ethernet cable.
If that works then try KDE’s network manager.

on fedora, once you enabled firwalls/selinux during installation, I can never make nfs boot or ftp works. you can see firewall disabled, iptables disabled, yet no help. Either selinux or fedora GUI has bugs, what I get:
Loading: TFTP error 2: Only absolute filenames allowed
Failed.
to our people, the selinux is a nightmare. forget what the system told you. selinux adds extension to file attributes then some garbage cannot be removed.

The easy way to do this is:

chkconfig iptables off

then to re-enable

chkconfig –level 345 iptables on
