That command only tells us what SHOULD happen at various times, eg on bootup, shutdown, single user mode etc.It doesn't tell us what it is ACTUALLY doing or what state it is currently in. What version of ClearOS are you running?
The output of chkconfig suggests you are possibly using an outdated, out of support, version. If this is true, then we can definitely say that your sytem is vulnerable to all types of newer threats and thus your firewall, even if it is running, will no longer provide adequate protection.
