# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
# targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
# strict - Full SELinux protection.

How To Start iptables

[root@bigboy tmp]# service iptables start
[root@bigboy tmp]# service iptables stop
[root@bigboy tmp]# service iptables restart

To get iptables configured to start at boot, use the chkconfig command:.
[root@bigboy tmp]# chkconfig iptables on

Determining The Status of iptables
You can determine whether iptables is running or not via the service iptables status command. Fedora Core will give a simple status message. For example
[root@bigboy tmp]# service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.
[root@bigboy tmp]#
