Ok, I figured this thing out. I've seen my question posted on couple other forums but no one provided a definite answer. Here is the answer The GUI Security Level Configuration Tool http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/ch-basic-firewall.html is used to configure the firewall. It does not, however, display the current security state. That's why I kept seeing high level all the time. I guess only a 2 days linux newbie would make that assumption Thx for pointing me to iptables file. That's how I was able to determine that the changes I was making in GUI were taking effect.

Please bare with me since I just took a dive into the world of Linux. I'm liking it so far but I have one problem that some of you gurus can hopefully help me figure out. The default security level for the firewall always stays high no matter what I change it to. I've tried using the gnome-lokkit and verified that iptables Service is running but security keeps reverting to high everytime I go back in. Is there something simple that needs to be done to make the change? http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux...t-firewall.html Thx in advance.
