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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2014:0837 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE system-config-firewall bug fix update 2014-07-07 12:04:46 UTC

Description Scott McCarty 2011-07-12 22:24:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
system-config-firewall does not allow user to specify which eth interface, only displays eth+ which will apply rule to all interfaces. Works fine in the GUI, because it is a tree structure which can be expanded.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.1

How reproducible:
Very easy

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run system-config-firewall
2. Buttons: Customize -> Forward -> Forward

  
Actual results:
eth+ shows in interface, cannot expand to show individual interfaces

Expected results:
Should expand or show all interfaces automagically

Comment 10 Graham Mainwaring 2014-03-13 20:43:25 UTC 
This bug makes it impossible to use the utility to set up masquerading in a typical scenario with two Ethernet ports for internal and external networks. Is there any expectation that this bug will ever be fixed?
