Description of problem: Please name Fedora iptables tool, used to configure netfilter via iptables (proper) something other than "iptables", as this is source of great confusion with the proper iptables tool. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Any How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Massive misunderstanding Expected results: To each one its own. Additional info: I am not even sure against which component I opened this RFE. I am pretty sure it is the wrong one, though :D
I am sorry, but I do not understand this. Can you please explain, what you are talking about?
Sure, I am referring to service /etc/init.d/iptables. That is cause for much misunderstanding, especially for new users. They mistake this service for the iptables tool and have difficulty grasping the concept that /etc/init.d/iptables and iptables are not the same thing and that the former is a Fedora tool to ease use of the iptables tool which is used to configure netfilter on Linux. So, just changing /etc/init.d/iptables to, say, /etc/init.d/iptables_config or /etc/init.d/cfgiptables or something like that would help to differentiate, thus making things less confusing.
The name of the service matches the package name. I am sorry, but in my opinion this is reasonable and expected. Closing as "NOT A BUG".
