From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: I press: The Hat -> System Settings -> Security Level And in the nice little GUI tool I select: Security level: No firewall Then I press OK and Yes. Fine! Now it should be gone. But it is still running on security level High. I try writing (as root): #redhat-config-securitylevel Same thing happens. This little utility tool simply doesn't work. I can not make any changes to the security level. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run redhat-config-securitylevel. Change security level. Press OK and YES. 2.Run redhat-config-securitylevel again. All the changes you did before are gone. 3.Cry in dispair Actual Results: Nothing. My httpd server still does not accept any incomming HTTP. All incomming HTTP is blocked by the firewall and I can not change the firewall settings. Expected Results: I expected the firewall to let incomming HTTP traffic go through after I had changed the security level settings to allow this. Additional info:
redhat-config-securitylevel is simply a frontend to lokkit. Unfortunately, lokkit does not currently have a way of remembering the security level settings that it has written out in the past. In other words, it can write out an /etc/sysconfig/iptables file, but it does not read it in. This has been filed as a request for enhancement for gnome-lokkit at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72678 As for being unable to turn off the firewall, I have not seen this behavior before. All redhat-config-securitylevel should be doing is calling 'lokkit --disabled --quiet' Try this: 1) Run '/sbin/service iptables status' and attach the output to this bug report. 2) Run redhat-config-securitylevel and set the firewall setting to "No firewall" and click ok. 3) Run /sbin/service iptables status' again and attach the output.

I have added some code to redhat-config-securitylevel that will allow it to remember the settings that it last wrote out. This problem should be fixed now. redhat-config-securitylevel-1.1.0-1 should appear in Rawhide in the next day or so.
