Cobbler iptables configuration documentation bug within Satellite webUI and redhat.com/docs
Last modified: 2016-07-03 20:55:02 EDT
Description of problem: In Satellite's webUI "Referance Guide", Chapter 11. Cobbler (rhn/help/reference/en-US/ch-cobbler.jsp#s2-cobbler-reqs-security), the IPTable configuration command has an incorrect entry: /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p udp --dport 25150 -j ACCEPT should be: /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 25150 -j ACCEPT (-m options has to be "udp" and not "tcp".) The redhat.com documentation section also has the same error - http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.3.0/Reference_Guide/html/ch-cobbler.html#s2-cobbler-reqs-security Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.3.0 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above Actual results: See above. Expected results: See above. The docs should show "/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 25150 -j ACCEPT" within Satellite webUI and redhat.com/docs section. Additional info:
Fixed in the latest draft of the Satellite 5.4 Reference Guide here: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.4/html/Reference_Guide/ch-cobbler.html#s3-cobbler-reqs-security-iptables Thanks for the correction!
