Description Steven Dake 2011-07-19 18:13:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
Configuring the firewall in fedora without a trusted services entry in the system-config-firewall tool is difficult

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
matahari.x86_64
0.4.1-2.fc15

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start matahari in a vm
2. have matahari communicate to the local machine running qpid
3. default matahari port (49000) blocked by firewall preventing access
  
Actual results:
matahari doesn't work

Expected results:
matahari works and is easy to configure the firewall

Additional info:
need the port for matahari in the services file
need matahari added to system-config-firewall
Comment 1 Zane Bitter 2011-08-19 11:39:22 UTC 
Do we need to register the port with the IANA to get it in the /etc/services file? That seems the obvious way to go about it.
Comment 2 Ondrej Vasik 2011-08-20 04:48:24 UTC 
Yep, please follow the official IANA registration process from http://www.iana.org/go/draft-ietf-tsvwg-iana-ports (or the final version of the document, once available).
Comment 3 Zane Bitter 2011-09-01 09:09:03 UTC 
Port 49000 has been assigned to matahari by the IANA: https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/matahari/2011-August/001767.html

lokkit -p 49000:tcp

Is all you need to do to open the port on the firewall.

We should however support something like:

lokkit -s matahari

Now that we have an official iana port.

However, I do not think that this port should be open by default on all Fedora systems.  The security model with QMF is _lax by default_ so opening this port would be a security risk.

So we'll focus this bug instead on getting port 49000 added to /etc/services so that lokkit -s matahari will work
Comment 5 Ondrej Vasik 2011-11-09 19:45:06 UTC 
I will sync /etc/services with IANA in Fedora Rawhide soon...
Comment 6 Zane Bitter 2012-01-05 14:14:40 UTC 
As discussed above, we don't wish to open the firewall port by default. The better way to connect to a remote box is to configure it to use broker federation to a trusted server.

The port registration is present in /etc/services in Fedora Rawhide, setup-2.8.43-1.fc17
