From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.0.2 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020102 Description of problem: When gnome-lokkit runs and builds a new /etc/sysconfic/ipchains file, it dumps the previous existing /etc/sysconfig/ipchains file. A better behavior would be to backup an exisitng ipchains file to ipchains.bak or whatever. I know ipchains is going away, but as long as RH is shipping this tool, it should be a little more protective of prior config information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create /etc/sysconfig/ipchains with rules 2.run gnome-lokkit to create a new firewall rule set 3.new rule file replaces previous ipchains rule file without a backup creation. Additional info:
Should be moved to system-config-securitylevel?
