Doug,
I have run into the same issue. When I make changes using the "Security
Level tool" and then close that tool. The settings stick. However, if the
machine is shutdown (for any reason) or that application is opened once
more, the security settings go back the way they were before.
It is as if the initial setting of the security level becomes the
permanent default, restoring itself to the initial install level at every
boot and every time that application is opened.
I find it highly annoying. (Even though I enjoy using that tool for
quick security edits.)

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

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?
