Hi everybody,
how do i shutdown the firewall (ipchains) or check if its running?

[root /root]# ipchains --list -n
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
Chain forward (policy ACCEPT):
Chain output (policy ACCEPT):

That is what an empty one looks like

If you want to turn it off:

ipchains -P input ACCEPT
ipchains -P forward ACCEPT
ipchains -P output ACCEPT
ipchains --flush

I add the -P ACCEPT because should it be "DROP/DENY", you can loose
connectivity to the box.

Thanks,

Brian
