Description of problem:

Changes applied to firewall settings, such as adding ports, through system-
config-securitylevel are ignored.  In a possibly related issue, similar changes 
made directly to iptables, although accepted in the table at the time, are 
removed on reboot. 

Only happens with Fed 7, no issues with Fed 6 or Fed 5.

I note a related bug has been registered where trying to enable/disable the 
firewall through this tool fails.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedor 7. 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7

system-config-securitylevel 1.7.0

How reproducible:
each time, on both Fedora 7 systems I have running. One system under VMware 
server 1.0.3, one system on a Pentium based server platform.  
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open system-config-securitylevel (note the extended start up time)
2. add a port, apply or ok the change, close tool.
3. re-open, note that change has not applied.
4. do iptables -L, note the change is not listed
5. add the port through iptables, eg:
iptables -A <chain> -p tcp --dport <some port> -j ACCEPT
6. do iptables -L, note that change is listed. 
7. reboot, do iptables -L, note that any changes have been removed. 

Actual results:
As described above.  Even when the change is listed in the table the system 
will not allow access through the sepcified port.

Expected results:

Port change is accepted and enabled.
