Description of problem: When you change a firewall setting, it is not applied before service iptables is restarted. This is not what I expect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fc6 system up to date; system-config-securitylevel-1.6.27-2 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: In Gnome session: 1. Select Top menu System -> Administration -> Security level and Firewall 2. Enter root password (when requested) 3. Change some setting 4. Press OK 5. Press Yes Actual results: New setting is stored, but first becomes in effect when service iptables is restarted. Expected results: New setting in effect immidiately. Additional info: Seems to apply to fc7 too.

Is OK in Fedora 8 (where the package is called system-config-firewall). As Fedora 9 is almost there, it is a waste of time to look back to anything before Fedora 8. So no need to fix it anymore.
