From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: When I run the "Security Level" GUI administration application and set the settings as I wish (changing from High default filter set to custom set and enabling SSH) I can't make that setting stick. I press OK, confirm that I wish to change the security level, and the app goes away without error but when I start the Security Level app up again, the app tells me "High" with default filter settings is in action. The change I just made is not reflected in the application. The "High" setting I installed the machine with appears to be "stuck". But I know that app is essentially lying because I can SSH into my RH8.0 machine now. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start up RH8.0 system, log in as normal (non-root) user. 2. Launch System Settings->Security Level application from Red Hat menu. 3. Change security level from "High" to "custom" and enable SSH to allow incoming SSH clients. 4. Press OK. 5. Confirm the change in the alert box. 6. Watch the app go away without error. 7. Relaunch the security level application. Actual Results: All requests hang. Expected Results: The RH 8.0 machine should have reflected the proper setting of the security settings. When I changed the setting from "High" to custom allowing SSH, I should have seen that change when I restarted the security setting app (I also should have seen the change when I restarted the RH8.0 machine and relaunched the security setting app). Additional info:
Please ignore the "all requests hang" part. I was trying to express something else but I discovered the security level application wasn't reflecting the state I had configured. Also, since I couldn't find the System Settings or Security Level component, I took a guess which component to use. Sorry for misfiling the bug, if that's not the right place.
This works properly in RH9.0; the security settings application appears to reflect the changes made to the security settings.
