[lug] restricting internet access

[qqq1one @yahoo.com]

/etc/sysconfig/iptables is the file that I am manually editing and that
redhat-config-securitylevel is overwriting.  I'm looking for the config
file that redhat-config-securitylevel is using to overwrite
/etc/sysconfig/iptables.  It must be a separate file, since the tool
remembers its previous settings, regardless of what I put in
/etc/sysconfig/iptables.
