Thanks for your quick response, Nalin. I am pretty new with Linux but I feel
I am making strides so I hope you can bear with me. If a firewall was setup
at install time (which I am not sure of because I didn't do the install),
would the information be in /etc/sysconfig/firewall? I have such a file but
it is empty. I wouldn't think, therefore, that would be the case. Can't
swear to it , however. Any other ideas?
