You can completely turn off all firewalling by doing: /sbin/service iptables stop /sbin/service iptables save the "save" saves your current state and restores it the next time. But, do you _really_ want to do this? I think not - this would then allow all connections from anywhere and you'd have to rely on your access rules being correct, and holding up. I'd argue a better way is to allow all connections to localhost from localhost (i.e. on the loopback), and I'd be surprised if this isn't the case anyway with a standard RH setup, even on high (though having never used it, I wouldn't know). I've always found it more instructive and secure to use your own rules - there are lots of guides out there, some with sample shell scripts yopu can look at and adapt, and then you can tune your firewall exactly how you want it. You could configure Samba by hand via the config file if you are feeling adventurous... /etc/samba/smb.conf is your target here.
