Description John Reiser 2004-07-24 20:30:44 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040625

Description of problem:
The names of well-known services (such as "nfs", "ipp", etc.) should
be allowed in the "Other ports" list.  Having to enter numerical port
numbers and protocol names is cumbersome and error-prone.  Also, it is
a regression from RedHat 9, where such names could be used in the
analogous part of an anaconda install.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-securitylevel-1.4.1-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. RedHat > System Settings > Security Level
2. Enter "nfs" in the Other ports list
3. Click OK.
    

Actual Results:  Invalid port given: nfs.  The proper format is
'port:protocol, port:protocol'.  For example, '1234:udp, 3456:tcp'

Expected Results:  The ports and protocols necessary for services that
are well-known by name should be enabled in the firewall configuration.


Additional info:

Similar to enhancement request bug #124161, but I count this as a bug
because it is a regression from previous Features and Usability.

Comment 1 Paul Nasrat 2004-07-28 08:27:50 UTC
The following syntax works:

nfs:udp

Looking at how anaconda historically handled this was to add :tcp to
services without a protocol specified.  

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2005-03-29 16:44:02 UTC
Changed the error message to say that service names are fine to use.  Also made
sure to display service names instead of port names in the other ports field.
