If you want to generate a new firewall configuration, you should use the
'-f' option. lokkit is modifying the actual settings as long as this
option is not given. Please have a look at the output of 'lokkit --help'.
/etc/sysconfig/system-config-firewall is the config file generated by
system-config-firewall, which replaces system-config-securitylevel since
F-8.
