RE: RH8.0 - Altering Security Level

[Doug Johnson]

It should be in your iptables. Since I don't run the GUI I can't help you through that. However, if you are root you can go to the shell and run ntsysv and deselect the "iptables" option and then close out of that and run "service network restart". Now you should be able to do anything you want. But keep in mind if this is connected to the Internet you now have your pants down. Iptables are great but it can be a bear to manually configure correctly.  This is the quick way to unlock the security.  I always start with the install as no security and then manually configure the iptables according to what I need before I ever stick a cat-5 cable into the card. iptables and ipchains are extremely valuable tools.   Good luck, Doug Johnson -----Original Message----- From: Ricky Deitemeyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 3:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RH8.0 - Altering Security Level What files do I have to edit to change the security settings on my Redhat 8.0 box?  I'm trying to set up samba, but as it is, I can't even get localhost to accept my connection.  The firewall/security setting is stuck at 'high' and when I attempt to change it via the gnome Security Level Configuration interface the changes don't take (I am logged in as root).  Anyone else run into this problem?    Ricky Deitemeyer Mediabase 15260 Ventura Blvd., Ste. 1500 Sherman Oaks, CA 91403 (818)461-8096 ricky@mediabase.com
