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.

Description Robert Scheck 2018-04-21 13:52:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
The documentation ("man portreserve") says: "UDP services may be specified
by appending "/udp" to the service name, and TCP services by "/tcp". Several
services may be specified, one per line.". So, let's try:

1. echo imaps/udp > /etc/portreserve/dovecot
2. systemctl restart portreserve.service
3. netstat -alpen | grep :993 | wc -l  # Outputs "1" -> works

4. echo 993/udp > /etc/portreserve/dovecot
5. systemctl restart portreserve.service
6. netstat -alpen | grep :993 | wc -l  # Outputs "1" -> works

7. echo imaps/tcp > /etc/portreserve/dovecot
8. systemctl restart portreserve.service
9. netstat -alpen | grep :993 | wc -l  # Outputs "0" -> doesn't work!

10. echo 993/tcp > /etc/portreserve/dovecot
11. systemctl restart portreserve.service
12. netstat -alpen | grep :993 | wc -l  # Outputs "0" -> doesn't work!

13. echo imaps/tcp > /etc/portreserve/dovecot
14. echo pop3s/tcp >> /etc/portreserve/dovecot
15. systemctl restart portreserve.service
16. netstat -alpen | grep :99 | wc -l  # Outputs "0" -> doesn't work!

17. echo 993/tcp > /etc/portreserve/dovecot
18. echo 995/tcp >> /etc/portreserve/dovecot
19. systemctl restart portreserve.service
20. netstat -alpen | grep :99 | wc -l  # Outputs "0" -> doesn't work!

Note that I would prefer using port number rather service name myself, but
neither nor works with TCP as it seems.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
portreserve-0.0.5-11.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
See above.

Actual results:
Portreserve does neither handle TCP ports nor multiline ports as documented.

Expected results:
Portreserve should handle TCP ports and multiline ports as documented.

Cross-filed case 02344537 in the Red Hat customer portal.
Comment 4 Lukáš Nykrýn 2019-06-26 08:41:01 UTC 
I don't think there is a bug. Portreserve only calls bind on that socket and not listen. Which means that the socket will not appear in netstat but effectively it is "reserved".

[root@ci-vm-10-0-137-101 ~]# cat /etc/portreserve/dovecot
imaps/tcp
[root@ci-vm-10-0-137-101 ~]# systemctl restart portreserve.service
[root@ci-vm-10-0-137-101 ~]# netstat -alpen | grep :993 | wc -l  # Outputs "0" -> doesn't work!
0
[root@ci-vm-10-0-137-101 ~]# nc -l 993
Ncat: bind to 0.0.0.0:993: Address already in use. QUITTING.
Comment 5 Robert Scheck 2019-07-05 16:10:27 UTC 
Lukáš, yes you're indeed right. Can you close this bug, please?
Comment 7 Chris Williams 2020-11-11 21:39:43 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 shipped it's final minor release on September 29th, 2020. 7.9 was the last minor releases scheduled for RHEL 7.
From intial triage it does not appear the remaining Bugzillas meet the inclusion criteria for Maintenance Phase 2 and will now be closed. 

From the RHEL life cycle page:
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Maintenance_Support_2_Phase
"During Maintenance Support 2 Phase for Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7,Red Hat defined Critical and Important impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected (at Red Hat discretion) Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available."

If this BZ was closed in error and meets the above criteria please re-open it flag for 7.9.z, provide suitable business and technical justifications, and follow the process for Accelerated Fixes:
https://source.redhat.com/groups/public/pnt-cxno/pnt_customer_experience_and_operations_wiki/support_delivery_accelerated_fix_release_handbook  

Feature Requests can re-opened and moved to RHEL 8 if the desired functionality is not already present in the product. 

Please reach out to the applicable Product Experience Engineer[0] if you have any questions or concerns.
