Uninstall firewalld Package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

firewalld (Dynamic Firewall Manager) provides a dynamically managed firewall with support for network/firewall “zones” to assign a level of trust to a network and its associated connections, interfaces or sources. It has support for IPv4, IPv6, Ethernet bridges and also for IPSet firewall settings. There is a separation of the runtime and permanent configuration options. The firewalld package can be removed with the following command:

$ sudo zypper remove firewalld

Rationale

Running both nftables.service and firewalld.service may lead to conflict and unexpected results.
