Description D J Capelis 2011-11-19 23:25:38 UTC 
Might want to use #707687 as a tracking bug for these types of issues.

This is out of date and needs to be updated for the post-systemd world:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Security_Guide/sect-Security_Guide-IPTables-Saving_IPTables_Rules.html

Didn't see this filed anywhere else, so figured I'd submit it.  Systemd doesn't actually even allow you to use "save" anymore, so it's somewhat unclear how people are supposed to do this, it would be nice if the documentation provided guidance.

Removing myself for these bug components as I'm either no longer involved in that aspect of the project, or no longer care to watch this particular bug. Sorry if you are caught in a maelstrom of bug changes as a result!

I bumped into this while bring up a system under F16 (i686 Xfce). The best I could find online was to do "iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables" which works.

Is the plan to allow systemd to understand what "service iptables save" used to do or to change the documentation to suggest the above workaround as the new way to do it ... or something else?

Thanks,
Paul

This is being fixed by an update to the firewall chapter.
