This should really be changed to be a Request for Enhancement (RFE) for the software to read the existing/current configuration and use that as a starting point for configuration. Good point. I have done this now. redhat-config-securitylevel calls lokkit to set the firewall level. What's needed is a way for lokkit to have a way of telling what level it setup last. So, if I could call something like "lokkit --level", it could return something like "High" or "Off". Then redhat-config-securitylevel would have a way of knowing what the current firewall setting looks like. I'm changing the component to lokkit, but please transfer this bug back to redhat-config-securitylevel if/when lokkit has this ability. Hmm, lokkit isn't a component but gnome-lokkit is. Same problem with setup, Firewall Configuration.... root # setup select Firewall Configuration change the firewall settings Does not reflect to the actual settings. *** Bug 73057 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 73286 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Are you sure gnome-lokkit will ever get that ability? I ask because there's a big difference between a wizard style GUI (gnome-lokkit) and the type of GUI redhat-config-securitylevel has. When using a configuration wizard you don't expect your old settings being presented, but when using an "ordinary" GUI you do. When I fired up redhat-config-securirylevel for the first time it was to view the current firewall settings. I wouldn't even consider to use gnome- lokkit for the same purpose, of course. voz, I'm requesting that the functionality be added to lokkit, not specifically the gnome-lokkit frontend. However, the bug is filed against gnome-lokkit since the lokkit backend comes from the same source RPM as gnome-lokkit. Bugzilla's component list comes from the source RPMs, not the binary RPM packages. *** Bug 75350 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 75926 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 25510 *** Isn't marking this as a duplicate to 25510 risky, in that before 8.0 lokkit deals with ipchains, not iptables? Are you sure this will cover both? |
