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!

firestarter
FIRESTARTER(8) System Manager's Manual FIRESTARTER(8)
NAME
firestarter - program to manage and observe firewalls
SYNOPSIS
firestarter [options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the firestarter command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in html format (see below).
firestarter is a GNOME program that will help you in configuring and monitoring a GNU/Linux firewall using either ipchains or iptables.
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
below.
--generate-scripts
Generate firewall scripts from current configuration. If firestarter is updated and you don't want to run the GUI, the scripts in
/etc/firestarter are not up-to-date. So you have to run firestarter with this option to update the scripts.
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
--lock Lock the firewall, blocking all traffic.
-p, --stop
Stop the firewall.
-s, --start
Start the firewall.
--start-hidden
Start firestarter with the GUI not visible.
-v, --version
Show version of program.
SEE ALSO
This program is fully documented in http://www.fs-security.com/docs/.
