Thanks I did what you suggested... I just flushed all the rules and then I inputed the ones I wanted and then did iptables save... did not know you could do it that way...awsome... thanks! <div>On 12/1/05, Bob Kryger <<a href="mailto:bobk@panix.com">bobk@panix.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I never use the GUIs. I don't feel that, in general, they give you the functions and control you need. Nor is using a GUI good for learning what is really going on in the system, and how to properly and effectively admin a system. I suggest that you look at the iptables command. This will modify the rules directly. In fedora, once you get the rules the way you want them, run '/etc/init.d/iptables save' to update the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. I never edit the sysconfig file by hand, although I will make copies of the file as backup.
