Description of problem: Currently the NTP startup script checks for iptables and adds rules to the chains itself. This seems like a bad idea to me. If there is a central place for FW managment it should remain as such as not to cause confusion. I think it's be preferable if Lokkit could check against chkconfig or what-not and determine FW requirements for your enabled services. Flag them somehow so the user can make a decision. I would hope that the ~default~ init scripts wouldn't be allowed to overrule lokkit. Just a thought. Cheers, -Ali { There is no lokkit component listed above for me to choose. And it failed when I used 'component text'.. Sorry. }
Same basic problem exists in RHEL 4, nice RFE for some future release IMO. Changing to proper package now and it's not just for lokkit anymore (new nicer tools and GUIs). Also choosing reassign option to get to the right person now.
