this is not a error, it is only a warning while trying to stop SuSEfirewall2 service when the the service is not active.
the info of is /proc/net/ip_tables_names:
...
ip_tables_names — Lists the types of iptables in use. This file is only present if iptables is active on the system and contains one or more of the following values: filter, mangle, or nat.
...

The SuSEfirewall2 is a special service, which includes 2 sysvinit scripts corresponding to the 2 phases of the SuSEfirewall2 initialization. To start the SuSEfirewall2, run the 2 scripts successively or run "SuSEfirewall2 start" directly. I need to look whether this special case can be included in the current service manage utils.
