RE: RH7.2 lokkit changes don't hold

[Terry Hobart]

OK, Sorry for the delay in responding.   I no longer have a 7.2 machine to try this on so I used an 8.0 machine instead. I conducted an experiment and lokkit reacted as I expected. It created the firewall rule set in /etc/sysconfig/iptables and after restarting iptables ( and also after rebooting the machine) lokkit returned to high. If cancel was then selected the rule set remained unchanged and in effect. If save was selected then it was converted to what ever was set during the lokkit session. In any case lokkit returned to high on each invocation.   Once again I reiterate I had no 7.2 machine to test on. Which by the way explains why I have only the OK choice & not the ipchains-save/iptables-save choices.   Hope this avoids any confusion I may have caused anywhere.   Terry   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Andy Elacion, Jr. Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 7:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: RH7.2 lokkit changes don't hold   Yes it does, it does not recognise the changes that you made because ipchains/iptables does not recognize your changes. When you modify your firewall rules save it using ipchains-save or iptables-save, then restart ipchains/iptables.   Terry Hobart wrote: Lokkit reverts to high by default each time it is invoked. The original settings are in effect on the machine it is just that when lokkit runs it does not read them and just displays high. The obvious problem with this is you have to remember what you entered the last time in order to do it again.
