Can someone tell me if I edit the iptables file manually to create a rule to deny ANY access to a server or do I need to use the gui?

You can edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables for that, of course.

However, the correct way to do it, by RHEL standards, is to use iptables to put the rules you want in place, and then use "service iptables save" to commit it to /etc/sysconfig/iptables.
