I am using an ancient version of SuSe (SuSe 10.2). I have turned off SuSEfirewall2 by running this command:
SuSEfirewall2 stop
That definitely stopped iptables. Is there a way to disable iptables on boot so I don't run into this issue again?

You mind providing steps on where to go to delete it? I am not too familiar with out SLES is set up.. – ryekayo Jun 13 '17 at 19:36

I don't have a system here, just search it: `ls /etc/init.d/*firewall* /etc/rc*/*firewall* /etc/init.d/rc*/*firewall*` – eckes Jun 13 '17 at 19:38

So looks like it is in the rc.d directory which runs scripts on startup... So deleting the SuSEfirewall_init and setup script should fix this, no? – ryekayo Jun 13 '17 at 19:42

Yes, at least the links Named S* in rc*.d – eckes Jun 13 '17 at 21:02

For init.d style systems (like old SUSE) it is normally enough to remove all start (S*firewall) scripts from all /etc/rcX.d/ directories.
