RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

remove "-f" switch from selinux lokkit call

Description of problem: When creating an image using a kickstart script, using the standard notation (e.g: firewall --enabled --service ssh), the iptables config file (/etc/sysconfig/iptables) in the resulting image does not contain the ssh rule. It appears that this is overwritten by lokkit, and our "correct" configuration file gets written to /etc/sysconfig/iptables.old

There appear to be several fedora-related bugs, such as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769457

There is an older patch in the EL6 spec added in 2012 that removes the "-f" switch from lokkit being called in context of updating the firewall - only thing I can think of is that for some reason newer versions imgcreate is now running lokkit for selinux  _after_ the firewall has been configured, so overwriting firewall config.

Attached patch is basically the same as the older one, but removes the "-f" switch from lokkit in context of updating selinux config.

This is an EPEL bug, not core RHEL. EPEL issue here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1259864

We only need one bug for this.
