RH8.0 firewall WILL NOT turn off
I have been trying to disable the firewall on a new install of RH8(Psyche). It will NOT stay disabled. I've gone thru system tools, security level and disabled it, and it says YES, like it will save my settings, but when i open it up again, it is always back to HIGH. I also tried using the LOKKIT package, and it does teh same thing, will not change. Anyone know HOW i can change this, is there a specific file I can edit at command line and vi and edit the settings rather than going thru this gui that doesn't seem to work? I'm going in as root, so don't know why it won't work. Thanks for any help!

firewall-applet [OPTIONS...]
DESCRIPTION
firewall-applet is a tray applet for firewalld.
OPTIONS
firewall-applet does not support any special options. The only options that can be used are the general options that Gtk uses for Gtk
application initialization. For more information on these options, please have a look at the runtime documentation for Gtk.
The following options are supported:
-h, --help
Prints a short help text and exists.
GSETTINGS
firewall-applet has additional settings to adapt the look and feel. The used backend depends on the distribution and can be either dconf or
GConf. The path to the settings is org.fedoraproject.FirewallApplet. You can use dconf-editor or gconf-editor to see and modify them.
