Hi all,

I know there's a bug come with RedHat 7.2. That is firewall settings
in "SETUP" command. When I change the firewall level to "no firewall"
or "custmize", everything seems to be very good. But if I run "SETUP"
to see the firewall settings again, it will return to "HIGH LEVEL".
My question is: When I run setup to change the firewall settings,
which file am I modifying? I wanna modify the file directly without
running this "SETUP" any more.

The "setup" program _does not remember_ your previous firewall
settings, it always starts at the defaults no matter what you may have
configured previously.

Use "ipchains" or "iptables" to define the firewall rules and
"ipchains-save" or "iptables-save" to save the firewall configuration.
Use "chkconfig" to set the firewall to start at boot.
