Fixed upstream: https://git.netfilter.org/iptables/commit/?id=081d57839e91e18df38ed3e56b8a720677efcedc This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. |
Description of problem: man 8 iptables-restore states: «DESCRIPTION iptables-restore is used to restore IP Tables from data specified on STDIN. Use I/O redirection provided by your shell to read from a file». This is however not true (anymore?): root@ws-45 ~ # iptables -vL INPUT Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 2 packets, 141 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination root@ws-45 ~ # iptables-restore /etc/sysconfig/iptables root@ws-45 ~ # iptables -vL INPUT Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 1 89 ACCEPT all -- any any anywhere anywhere ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED 0 0 ACCEPT all -- lo any anywhere anywhere 0 0 INPUT_direct all -- any any anywhere anywhere 0 0 INPUT_ZONES_SOURCE all -- any any anywhere anywhere 0 0 INPUT_ZONES all -- any any anywhere anywhere 0 0 ACCEPT icmp -- any any anywhere anywhere 0 0 REJECT all -- any any anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iptables-1.4.18-1.fc19.i686 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. man 8 iptables-restore 2. Compare quoted statement with actual command behaviour. 3. Actual results: Command iptables-restore *does* read data from a file without the need of shell I/O redirection. Expected results: Statement must be removed or corrected. Additional info:
