Yes it sets different things in iptables depending on the level. There are as usual several ways to get this information. You can look in the file /etc/sysconfig/iptables. These are rules that are loaded when the system boots up or when you restart iptables. You can also issue the command: service iptables status This will show you what rules are currently active. You may want to to do this since certain programs punch their own holes through the firewall such as ntpd. (Which I personally think is incorrect, if ports need to be opened in the firewall there should be one place that does this.) -- Scot L.
