CentOS 6.6 Does Not Have A Default Firewall?

I noticed that the 6.6 x86_64 DVD ISO install of minimal no longer creates a /etc/sysconfig/iptables file.

What prompted the change?

  • No idea WHY it changed … but I have validated that the exact same behavior exists in RHEL 6.6.

    A minimal RHEL 6.6 install shows these files only in /etc/sysconfig/

    [root@localhost sysconfig]# ls | grep tables ip6tables-config iptables-config

    So this is the same as upstream, and therefore the expected (even if not the desired) results on CentOS 6.6.

    I also see this:

    Which while not DIRECTLY related, will need to be solved to run:

    system-config-firefall-tui

    (If you want to generate an /etc/sysconfig/iptables file)

  • Thanks for opening the bugzilla, Johnny. We just discovered this issue on minimal netinstall as well.
