How do I disable the firewall in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3?
Updated -
To completely disable the firewall in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and newer (which solely uses iptables), use the following two commands:
# service iptables stop
# chkconfig iptables off
This will disable any O/S-based firewall you have enabled and will prevent the firewall from attempting to start at boot time.
