Depending on which ports you closed, the security program may not be able to
connect to your GUI.

Try running "system-config-securitylevel" as the root user.

Hi Rick.
Thanks for your answer. I did it and got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/usr/share/system-config-securitylevel/system-config-securitylevel.py" ,
line 18, in ?
	app.stand_alone()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-securitylevel/securitylevel.py" , line 453,
in stand_alone
	self.readFile()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-securitylevel/securitylevel.py" , line353,
in readFile
	protoname=socket.getservbyport(int(service), protocol)
socket.error: port/proto not found

Is there anything else I can do?

Regards
Juan_
