RedHat 8 for my desktop at work... (I finally got to

Excuses aside, the stupid "security settings"
program will NOT let me change any of the settings
from "HIGH." I can't even connect to "localhost" (

I've tried to login as root and change them as well,

Anybody encountered this? Fixed it?
# /etc/init.d/iptables
Usage: /etc/init.d/iptables {start|stop|restart|condrestart|status|panic|save}
panic closes everything off and stop opens the floodgates.
The thing to remember is that RedHat stores most (if not all) the configs in /etc. Most systems settings are in /etc/sysconfig
