Unhappy YDL: Cannot change security settings


I just installed Yellow Dog Linux 3.01.

After booting it up the first time, I realized I could not access the web server from other computers on my network, nor could I access "localhost" in Mozilla.

Checking the security settings control panel showed the firewall settings were "high" (even though during the install I chose "Medium" and manually allowed HTTP, SSH, and FTP).

I changed the menu from "high" to "no firewall" (since the whole network here is already inside one), but even after I click "OK", it has no effect. Returning to the dialog shows it's still on "High" -- my changes were ignored.

Is there a workaround or command-line way to fix this? Most annoying, since I set up this Mac to be a web server and now I can't access it.

Thanks.

You can dump all your iptables rules and allow everything through by running
Code:
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -F
from the command line as root. This will be reset when you reboot though. Hopefully someone can tell you which script to edit to change this for you permanently.

HTH and weldome to LinuxQuestions

cheers
