help with commands and firewall

[pepper]

I want to stop the iptables and the ipchains services on my redhat system (7.3). I tried stopping them with the command "service ipchains stop" I did this in super user mode within a user account on my system. I get a error that says:

bash: service command not found

I want to be able to use samba and the only way that I can is by turning off the ipchains and iptables services. According to my system it seems that I can't unless I am logged in as root.

One other thing can someone please help me with setting up my firewall to allow the samba ports access to the network.


thanks

try using...

/sbin/service ipchains stop

(i believe thats where it is)...../sbin

[STORMPROOF]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains stop


type: ntsysv and make sure ipchains and iptables are unselected if you do not want the service to start up at boot time.

I want the firewall services to start at boot time. I like having an active firewall. I just want to know how to get the samba service through the active firewall. I have found a firewall configuration GUI, I am thinking that I could setup a rule so that the samba service can pass through the firewall. After I looked at the GUI I got a little confused. Could someone please help me with the firewall configuration GUI or tell me what information in what files.

thanks
