From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Description of problem: When making custom rules and getting them to save via the "service iptables save" the ouput to /etc/sysconfig/iptables is not entirely correct. The one specific example I have is: Creating a custom set of firewall rules. From the command line ran: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT Then used "service iptables save" Went to restart iptables and was presentted with: Bad argument "any" Checked /etc/sysconfig/iptables - Found the line had not been saved correctly to be: -A INPUT -p icmp -m icmp any -j ACCEPT Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. At the command line: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT 2. Run: service iptables save 3. Check contents of /etc/sysconfig/iptables file - Entry for the above will be wrong Actual Results: iptables fails to start due to bug in saved config Expected Results: /etc/sysconfig/iptables should have contained the correct line to allow firewall to come up correct Additional info:
Confirmed. If this is not fixed in upstream code base, consider submitting a bug report at http://bugzilla.netfilter.org/ too.
