Description Jim Wildman 2016-09-08 02:55:58 UTC
Description of problem:
A basic installation of RHEL 7 with firewalld enabled has a complete firewall.  man firewalld indicates that the default configs are stored in /usr/lib/firewalld/*.  However inspection of those files reveals them to be definitions of the zones and services w/o the actual rules.  In particular I am looking for the icmpv6 rules.

The man page indicates I should copy the files from /usr/lib/firewalld into /etc/firewalld and modify them.  Since the defaults don't contain the rule I want to remove, I'm not sure how to proceed.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firewalld-0.3.9-14.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
Build a box, check the firewall, try to find the defaults.


Expected results:
Accurate documentation....

Which rule exactly do you want to remove?

Comment 3 Thomas Woerner 2016-11-30 16:37:56 UTC
Closing as insufficient data due to long user inactivity.

Comment 4 Jim Wildman 2017-01-04 21:03:12 UTC
Sorry I didn't see the note.  I was looking for the IPV6 ICMP block rules.

Comment 5 Thomas Woerner 2017-01-05 13:08:59 UTC
There is no file that contains the rule set of firewalld. The rule set is created using the configuration of the used zones, services, direct rules etc. while firewalld starts. Are you asking about this or something else?

I was asking how to modify those defaults (sorry for delay)
