I appreciate the admonitions on bad practices - but for now I need to
understand why something is happening and stop it


OPGX280 ~ # yum remove virt*

OPGX280 ~ #

OPGX280 ~ :( # chkconfig|grep virt
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

reboot


OK!!! Nice call on the virt*

 after reboot...

OPGX280 ~ # /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables status
iptables: Firewall is not running.

My goodness I would have never guessed that an unneeded package  would have
caused that - THANK YOU!

Now I can move on to the work I need to do - Thank you again
