Hi,
So, if you cannot login because you changed only the firewall settings you may restore the original settings by following steps:
1. Bootstrap from Fedora 1 CD. 2. Select 'linux restore' 3. Linux OS in restore mode will come up with console prompt # 4. Issue command 'chroot /sysimage/chroot/' 5. Issue command 'cd /etc/sysconfig' 6. issue command 'mv iptables iptables.orig' 7. Remove bootstrap Fedora 1 CD from CD drive. 8. Type 'exit' and your computer will 'Reboot'. 9. Your system will reboot without 'Firewall'.
