Description Bryce Nesbitt 2002-10-01 13:44:00 UTC 
It would be terribly nice if, when I install a package, that proper, tested,
firewall rules appear.

Packages like samba, imapd, netatalk & ntp all require firewall holes. 
Currently when I install those packages, they don't work.  They don't work
because the default RedHat install enables ipchains.

At the very least, how about a convention where the rpm adds these rules,
commented out, to /etc/sysconfig/ipchains?
Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2002-10-09 06:58:25 UTC 
Thanks for your suggestion.  This suggestion pertains more to the
distribution as a whole than to the ipchains package, so I'm
reassigning it to the distribution component for future
consideration.

Closing bugs on older, no longer supported releases. Apologies for any lack of
response.

Note that system-config-securitylevel does have support for allowing some
protocols through.
