Disabling Firewall

SELINUX and IPTABLES FIREWALLS

Disabling IPTABLES

1) Check status

[root@localhost selinux]# service iptables status
Table: filter
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination        
1    ACCEPT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
2    ACCEPT     icmp --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0          
3    ACCEPT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0          
4    ACCEPT     tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           state NEW tcp dpt:22
5    REJECT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination        
1    REJECT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination        

[root@localhost selinux]#


2) Stop services

[root@localhost selinux]# service iptables stop
iptables: Flushing firewall rules:                         [  OK  ]
iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter          [  OK  ]
iptables: Unloading modules:                               [  OK  ]
[root@localhost selinux]# service ip6tables stop
ip6tables: Flushing firewall rules:                        [  OK  ]
ip6tables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter         [  OK  ]
ip6tables: Unloading modules:                              [  OK  ]
[root@localhost selinux]#

3) Disable permanently 

[root@localhost selinux]# chkconfig iptables off

[root@localhost selinux]# chkconfig ip6tables off

Disabling SELINUX

1) First check status

setatus

[root@localhost ~]# sestatus
SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /selinux
Current mode:                   enforcing
Mode from config file:          enforcing
Policy version:                 24
Policy from config file:        targeted
[root@localhost ~]#

2) Change following directory 

[root@localhost ~]# cd /etc/selinux/
[root@localhost selinux]# pwd
/etc/selinux
[root@localhost selinux]# ls
config  restorecond.conf  restorecond_user.conf  semanage.conf  targeted
[root@localhost selinux]#

3) Modify config file following lines

Replace enforcing to disabled 

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.

# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:

#     enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.

#     permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.

#     disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.

SELINUX=enforcing

# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:

#     targeted - Targeted processes are protected,

#     mls - Multi Level Security protection.

SELINUXTYPE=targeted

After modification 

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.

# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:

#     enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.

#     permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.

#     disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.

SELINUX=disabled

# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:

#     targeted - Targeted processes are protected,

#     mls - Multi Level Security protection.

SELINUXTYPE=targeted
