Disable firewall during cobbler install

[Anu Ramachandra]

Hello,

How can the firewall on the target system be disabled during cobbler
install?

The kickstart file has the following statements at the end of the post
section -

Firewall -disabled

Service iptables stop

Chkconfig iptables off

Still, after the install, the firewall is active.

Thanks!

try with lowercase "chkconfig" :)

It is all lower case - outlook changed it to upper case.

are you using firewall --disabled in your kickstart? with double -
or did outlook change that too?

I've found that ordering can sometimes matter in the kickstart files.  Do
you have firewall --disabled before any %pre/%post/%packages sections?  The
issue I was having was that %packages came after %pre in mine, so it was
trying to run package names as commands...  I took my a while to figure out
why I'd have to switch to vty3 during the kickstart and exit parted...

James is correct. The "firewall --disabled" command should appear
before any %post, %pre sections.

The "service" and "chkconfig" commands belong in the %post section.
