From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Documentation for redhat-config-securitylevel does not explain if I can set both tcp & udp with one Port reference, nor if I can set a range of Ports with one reference (ie 137-139), nor does it list the port numbers normaly required for a corporate network environment (ie samba), nor does it say what file these settings are being written to. All of these should be explained. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Read the book 2. 3. Additional info: I believe that you should probably have someone less familiar with the products read and edit the instructions for many of the components.
You can not set both tcp & udp with one Port reference, and you can not set a range of ports with one reference (ie 137-139). The only valid options are port:protocol combinations separated by commas. A list of port numbers can be found in /etc/services. The tool writes to the file /etc/sysconfig/iptables. All this information has been added to the next version of the manual.
