Unhappy Redhat Standard Software Firewall


I am having a problem with the normal/standard firewall setup, where during setup or after when you try to turn it off it sets itself back to on. I have tried with the standard firewall config that comes with redhat, i have tried with firestarter and with the kpe lipo or lido or what ever it is.

But every time i turn it off in all 3 apps it goes back to default.
Help! As you can tell i am a newbie and i dont know much. Thanks

If you want to just shut it off temporarily run as root:
service iptables stop

If you want it to stay off completely:
chkconfig iptables off

Also, if you using the Redhat firewall GUI to check the status of the firewall, that's why it looks like it's still on. The Firewall GUI has a bug that no matter what the firewall is set to, it will display "high" by default. However, your firewall is still at whatever level you set it to.

the firewall is going back to default when you restart it because you are not saving the settings. To save the settings just do a

service iptables save

and it will save your settings.
