How can I stop the APF firewall temporarily? I don't want to uninstall it permanently and I want to turn it back on in just a bit.

There should be a file in /etc/init.d/ (a script) that allows you to start/stop this servce. It is probably named "apf". Try

Code:

# ./etc/init.d/apf stop

How do you discover such things? I mean, it's not that straight forward...

In the shell I search for "apf". I found that a binary is in dir /etc/init.d (which I know contains scripts). So I just went an executed it and discovered that it was the startup/shutdown script.

So it was something like... a lucky discovery?

Don't they document these things?

I've got no idea... I think and hope so.
