Description jcpunk 2011-11-04 18:33:46 UTC

Description of problem: iptables for ipv4 has the ability to add --comment to a rule for describing the rule and commenting on its addition.  The ipv6 version of iptables lacks this module


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):iptables-ipv6-1.4.7-4.el6


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. take any existing ipv6 rule add '-m comment --comment "TESTING COMMENT"' to it
2. attempt to load rule
3. watch it fail
  
Actual results: rule fails to load


Expected results: a comment exists for the rule as it does in ipv4

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-11-04 19:08:47 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 3 Thomas Woerner 2012-09-13 12:38:45 UTC

The comment module is part of the iptables package and can be used by ip6tables also.
