How to prevent iptables from starting when libvirtd is started
Issue
- The Libvirtd process will add iptables rules into iptables when starting libvirtd.
- iptables will run when starting libvirtd, even if iptables was disable before .
# service iptables stop
iptables: Firewall is not running.
# service libvirtd restart
# service iptables status
table: filter
