Description Mike Wangsmo 2002-02-07 18:44:34 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.0.2 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020102

Description of problem:
When gnome-lokkit runs and builds a new /etc/sysconfic/ipchains file, it dumps
the previous existing /etc/sysconfig/ipchains file.  A better behavior would be
to backup an exisitng ipchains file to ipchains.bak or whatever.

I know ipchains is going away, but as long as RH is shipping this tool, it
should be a little more protective of prior config information.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create /etc/sysconfig/ipchains with rules
2.run gnome-lokkit to create a new firewall rule set
3.new rule file replaces previous ipchains rule file without a backup creation.

Should be moved to system-config-securitylevel?
