How can I disable SuSEfirewall2 from the shell (without yast)?

We use OpenSuSE 12.3

I tried it:

workdevel123:~ # systemctl disable SuSEfirewall2.service

But I think this is not the solution:

workdevel123:~ # systemctl is-enabled SuSEfirewall2.service
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory

At least in openSUSE 12.1 the Firewall is still separated in two components in /etc/init.d:

# systemctl disable SuSEfirewall2_setup.service
SuSEfirewall2_setup.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig.
Executing /sbin/chkconfig SuSEfirewall2_setup off
# systemctl disable SuSEfirewall2_init.service
SuSEfirewall2_init.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig.
Executing /sbin/chkconfig SuSEfirewall2_init off

Using systemctl rather than just chkconfig --set SuSEfirewall2_setup off should "more future proof", though.

The order is important. _setup depends on _init.

  • Beware to do this remotely it might interrupt your connection. I was dropped out by doing this and had to restart the server.

The following works in OpenSUSE 13.2:

/sbin/SuSEfirewall2 off

Although /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 off is correct, you can also do it with systemctl:

systemctl -q is-enabled SuSEfirewall2 && systemctl disable SuSEfirewall2
systemctl -q is-active SuSEfirewall2 && systemctl stop SuSEfirewall2
