Fedora 7 port opening bug?

iamscottevil · #1 2nd June 2007, 03:50 AM

I'm trying to set up the open ports with the firewall dialog and when I enter my ports, and click apply, nothing happens and when I click okay and reopen the dialog they've disappeared. Any ideas?

Add your ports then tick the sshd trusted service and hit apply, the 'do you want do this' dialog should popup, hit yes. Now close system-config-securitylevel, and reopen it and untick sshd, hit apply and voila, your ports will remain saved.

cool. But is that a bug. I submitted a report, but I always feel like i'm wasting their time when I do that because I miss something.

Its a bug alright.

It will no doubt be added to the todo list. Similarly i've added it to bugzilla as well a couple of days back.

I was having this exact same problem, After serching for a while and not finding a similar thread I posted another one, but I found this one at last, thanks.

You could do it in one go: simply tick some option (to change the modify-bit), and then untick the same (to return to the previous state, while modify-bit remains activated), and you don´t need to reopen firewall and SElinux again.
WOW!

I've got F7 x86_64 installed which i did from a internet install. I presume if I keep updating by yum this will get fixed eventually? I'm asking because I update by yum frequently and I'm surprised this hasn't fixed the problem after over a month.

I googled for a fedora bug tracker but couldn't find where this bug is listed, eg what its status is (fix in progress or whatever.) Anyone got a url?

WOW!

the tui version works well ( system-config-securitylevel-tui )

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla....cgi?id=247544 is the tracker url

The link says it was fixed in 1.7.0-5.fc7

if it was fixed it was just broken again, It doesn't show the proper IP tables I have set up in my computer. Adding ones to the port list is intermittently successful.

Hello:
If you are having problems with added ports;
Try:

system-config-security-level
disable all the trusted services
then add your Other Ports
Close, save and restart your network
then
system-config-security-level
and enable any trusted services that you had before.

First of all, Seve, your code is obviously broken.

Still does not work. Even if such workaround worked it would still be a workaround.

How is it possible that such a bug persists even after updating system-control-securitylevel? Ridiculous!

I am going to give Kubuntu a try.
