Bug 173231

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=172390#c0

originally, i thought system-config-securitylevel combined selinux and iptables commits in one sweep.  i was informed that it should not do this.  however, if you set custom iptables rules (which are saved to /etc/sysconfig/iptables) they are deleted if you make any changes in either the selinux part or the iptables part of the system-config-securitylevel gui

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-securitylevel-1.5.8.1-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an iptables rule, such as "iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -j ACCEPT"
2. do "cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables" and view your new rule
3. open system-config-securitylevel
4. do not change anything in the firewall tab, but change on of the selinux booleans
5. click ok
  

Actual Results:  /etc/sysconfig/iptables is deleted, meaning that if you try to restart iptables or when you reboot, your iptables rules will not be there.

Expected Results:  changing selinux parameters in the system-config-securitylevel gui should not delete /etc/sysconfig/iptables unless you are changing firewall parameters (even then, i think it should account for rules you have already created).

Additional info:

see original bug i filed #172390:
see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=172390#c0

i marked this as "security" because you may not have any idea that you've just removed your firewall, which most of us would consider a problem.
