Hi all
Any one know how to permanently set firewall to off?
Using a Porteus box for quick http tests on an intranet and it's a pain to every time go into System Tools --> Porteus Setting Centre --> ......
Running Desktop Edition v3.0 (kernel 3.13.6) LXDE
T.I.A.

Setting Firewall off
Re: Setting Firewall off
Salutations...
The firewall default is OFF. If you used the "changes" cheatcode and made changes that turned it ON... then change the firewall to OFF in "Porteus Settings Centre".
Otherwise... if you prefer a "changes" module or file backup select it accordingly in "Porteus Settings Centre".
"Best Regards"...

Re: Setting Firewall off
Just make sure the rc file doesn't have the executable bit set.
Then when Porteus starts it won't execute the start script for the firewall.
Code: Select all
chmod -x /etc/rc.d.rc.FireWall
How do i become super user?

Hi fullmoonremix and brokenman
Thank you for responding and helping.
I'm going to use brokenman's idea of permissions on the rc.FireWall file as it's the easiest
but it's nice to know there are options.
