Description of problem: When using system-config-firewall-tui, if any custom rules are entered, it's unable to parse them. Consequently, both new and already-defined custom rules are lost. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): latest from yum How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start system-config-securitylevel-tui in a console window 2. Enter Customize screen 3. Add custom ports (bottom left text box). Format is specified as port:protocol, e.g. 12345:tcp - but if any existing ports are defined they're displayed as port/protocol, instead. With the included fix, both formats are acceptable for adding new ports. Proposed fix: The problem can be fixed by altering the parsing routine in /usr/share/system-config-firewall/fw_tui.py on line 216 from val = entry.strip().split(":") to val = entry.strip().split("/")
It sould be better to modify line 37 and 39 by converting the "%s/%s" in these line into "%s:%s" It seems that many lines in the code use ":" instead of "/" and the french and english prompt are using ":"
