Description Matt Watts 2001-11-09 22:55:07 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901

Description of problem:
The latest script fails to properly execute iptables-restore leaving the
firewall wide-open upon reboot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Configure firewall with iptables commands
2.Execute /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables save
3.Reboot machine
4.Login and execute iptables -L
	

Actual Results:  Default entries in iptables as if executing
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop

Expected Results:  Should have had all firewall rules as loaded prior to
reboot.

Additional info:

I have modified the Init Script file to correct this issue.

The issue initially occured when using up2date which downloaded and
installed iptables-1.2.4-0.71.2.i386.rpm

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-11-12 08:05:20 EST

Get the 1.2.4 package from errata - it fixes this and a couple of other 
security problems.
