OEL - Firewall not disabled on OEL 6 after running chkconfig iptables off and system reboot

To fix the problem you need to disable libvirtd

# chkconfig libvirtd off

# chkconfig libvirt-guests off

# chkconfig ip6tables off

# chkconfig iptables off

# chkconfig --list | egrep 'iptables|ip6tables|libvirt'

ip6tables 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off

iptables 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off

libvirt-guests 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off

libvirtd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off

 

After a reboot the firewall should be disabled now

[root@grac43 ~]# service iptables status

iptables: Firewall is not running.
