RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

With a ks.cfg file containing:
firewall --enabled --telnet

# ksvalidator telnet.ks 
The following problem occurred on line 1 of the kickstart file:

--telnet option requires an argument


This also causes anaconda to abort if used during install. This option doesn't seem to require arguments. Other options such as --http, --ftp work as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pykickstart-1.73-1.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a ks.cfg with "firewall --enabled --telnet"
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Error

Expected results:
No error

Additional info:

With pykickstart-1.74-1.el6.noarch

# ksvalidator ks.cfg 
Ignoring deprecated option on line 8:  The --telnet option has been deprecated and no longer has any effect.  It may be removed from future releases, which will result in a fatal error from kickstart.  Please modify your kickstart file to remove this option.

# echo $?
0


Using this ks.cfg with anaconda has no effect. Moving to VERIFIED.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
