Description Rick Beldin 2014-12-09 19:33:26 UTC
Title: SPICE Proxy Machine Setup

Describe the issue:

The chapter on spice proxies talks about updating the iptables but the command is incorrect.   The command: 

iptables-save 

does nothing more than echo out the current iptables settings to stdout: 

From the man page: 

      iptables-save  is  used  to  dump the contents of an IP Table in easily
       parseable format to STDOUT. Use I/O-redirection provided by your  shell
       to write to a file.



Suggestions for improvement:

Fix the documentation to use an iptables command that actually does something. 

Additional information:

Hi Rick, 

Thanks for filing this bug. Looks like the command should actually be: 
# service iptables save
which saves the settings to /etc/sysconfig/iptables

I'll fix this in the 3.5 docs to go live for 3.5 GA, and backport it to 3.4 for our next documentation update. 

Regards, 
Tahlia
