samba drive not accessible unless iptables is stopped
in [Linux Networking]

From: wong_powah on 25 Jan 2008 10:52 iptables is disabled at my Fedora core 6 linux PC, which can be confirmed by these commands: # system-config-securitylevel # ps -ef|grep iptable root 3170 2926 0 10:15 pts/2 00:00:00 grep iptable However, my windows PC cannot access a linux drive through samba unless iptables is stopped on the linux PC. (or enable the check box to open the ports for samba in system-config- security). # service iptables stop Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ] Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ] Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ] The iptables service is already disabled, so why it still block samba? i.e. Why it need to be stopped?

It does not run as a daemon so you won't normally see it running as a process. It you want to see the current filtering rules, type (as root): iptables -L Robert
