[Bug 739084] New: SuSEfirewall2 skips rules for interfaces which don't exist at time of execution
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739084 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739084#c0 Summary: SuSEfirewall2 skips rules for interfaces which don't exist at time of execution Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dr.tino.k@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0 The SuSEfirewall2 script checks if the interfaces provided in the configuration actually exist and ignores all rules associated with it if it doesn't. This could be a feature but is unfortunate when an interface comes into existence after the SuSEfirewall2 script has been executed. For example this happens with vboxnet0 which only gets created once a user executes VirtualBox. Temp workaround: manually restart the firewall whenever an interface gets newly created (e.g. when executing VirtualBox) or modifying the SuSEfirewall2 script and disabling the interface check (prob not recommended): /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 getdevinfo() { local dev="$1" echo "$dev" return 0 } Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
