It says high, but this doesn't display what the current setting is - only what it will set to if you select OK. > i did try to configure from here to allow telnet,ftp etc,etc.then > updates the iptablesas per the documentation asks me to do. > Even then the Fire wall conf does not get configured. Try the simplest way first: Change the security level to "No firewall", then run /etc/init.d/iptables stop as root, then run /etc/init.d/sshd start Then use ssh from windows (NOT telnet!) to connect to your linux box. Then once you are sure this works, you can start playing with your firewall. For a free ssh client for windows, try either cygwin or putty (there are many others) Hope this Helps, -- Iain Buchanan <iain@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Question: Is it better to abide by the rules until they're changed or help speed the change by breaking them? -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
