A small program

[satimis]

Hi all folks,

RH9.0
=====

Can you help me recall a small program to stop iptables permanently so that it would not start to run on booting. This program can also stop other applictions from running.

Thanks in advance.

If it's started out of init.d, then /sbin/chkconfig is what you are looking for.

Hi,

Thanks for your response

chkconfig can delele/add iptable. But what I am looking for is a samll program to start a window and from there you can enable/disable iptables with 'check' and other application. This program was running on RH7.3. I suppose it is also running on RH9.0. I forget the command to start it.

From shell

Usage: /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables {start|stop|restart|condrestart|status|panic|save}

There is also something called Services in the Control Panel. Maybe that's what you are looking for?

Might it be one of those redhat-config-whateverit'scalled apps that RedHat was shipping a few versions ago, which was when I last used an RH distro? If so, just look for it at the CLI with:

whereis redhat*

or something like that. Hope they're still doing it. talk about a step in the right direction!

The syntax you used for the find command was wrong. It should look something along the lines of this:

find / -name redhat-config*

and remember to run as root, so that permissions are not a problem. You could also use the locate command:

locate redhat-config*

Good luck searchin'

Hi,

Thanks for your response

1)
# find / -name redhat-config*

displayed many files, not only commands but including their documents/manuals.

2)
# locate redhat-config*

displayed nothing. No response.

In 7.3, the command was "serviceconf". I don't know if it still exists in later versions, but "redhat-config-services" should bring up the same window (or something similar).

I am not sure if this what you are looking for.
Try typing lokkit from the command line or
/usr/sbin/setup
and there is a firewall configuration.

Hi

RH9.0

serviceconf and redhat-config-services start to the same program. I just test them. It allows you to star/stop/restart applications

Hi,

lokkit is the prgram for firewall configuration allowing you to select security level

/usr/sbin/setup starts system configuration.

satimis OK, that's the same as in 7.3, and that's the utility you want to use choose which services start (or don't) automatically at boot-up.
