How can I disable the firewall on RH 7.3? I don't need the firewall enabled, because the Linux box runs a file server and a game server for LAN Parties...

Well, it's probably using Redhat's default... ipchains, so just do this:

/etc/init.d/ipchains stop

Then, to keep it from coming back if you reboot, look in your /etc/rc.d/rc#.d directories, where # is 1, 2, 3 and rename and S**ipchains links that you find.

And if you prefer to do it from the GUI (KDE) open Control Panel , chose Services Configuration , find ipchains and iptables in the list , uncheck the boxes and also choose Stop on each one . Just a few clicks away for those of us who are still new to the command line .
