Description Need Real Name 2002-10-22 15:18:44 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
I press:

The Hat -> System Settings -> Security Level

And in the nice little GUI tool I select:

Security level: No firewall

Then I press OK and Yes. Fine! Now it should be gone.

But it is still running on security level High.

I try writing (as root):
#redhat-config-securitylevel

Same thing happens. This little utility tool simply doesn't work. I can not make
any changes to the security level.



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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run redhat-config-securitylevel. Change security level. Press OK and YES.
2.Run redhat-config-securitylevel again. All the changes you did before are gone.
3.Cry in dispair
	

Actual Results:  Nothing. My httpd server still does not accept any incomming
HTTP. All incomming HTTP is blocked by the firewall and I can not change the
firewall settings.

Expected Results:  I expected the firewall to let incomming HTTP traffic go
through after I had changed the security level settings to allow this.

redhat-config-securitylevel is simply a frontend to lokkit.  Unfortunately,
lokkit does not currently have a way of remembering the security level settings
that it has written out in the past.  In other words, it can write out an
/etc/sysconfig/iptables file, but it does not read it in.  This has been filed
as a request for enhancement for gnome-lokkit at:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72678

As for being unable to turn off the firewall, I have not seen this behavior
before.  All redhat-config-securitylevel should be doing is calling 'lokkit
--disabled --quiet'

Try this:
1)  Run '/sbin/service iptables status' and attach the output to this bug report.
2)  Run redhat-config-securitylevel and set the firewall setting to "No
firewall" and click ok.
3)  Run /sbin/service iptables status' again and attach the output.

Comment 4 Brent Fox 2002-12-11 03:57:19 UTC

I have added some code to redhat-config-securitylevel that will allow it to
remember the settings that it last wrote out.  This problem should be fixed now.
 redhat-config-securitylevel-1.1.0-1 should appear in Rawhide in the next day or so.
