Just installed Fedora Core 1. First: thanks, it's quite nice.
Now the problem (skip to the end for the questions).
I used iptables to poke a hole through my firewall:
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.167.166 -j ACCEPT.
This worked fine. Then I used
/sbin/service iptables save
to save the settings. However, when I reboot, I get an error:
---snip--- Applying iptables firewall rules: Bad argument `any' Error occured at line: 11 Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information. [FAILED] ---snip---
I checked /etc/sysconfig/iptables, and this seems to be the bogus line:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp -m icmp any -j ACCEPT
If I instead /sbin/iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables, this seems to work.
Question 1: What's the correct way to save iptables with Fedora.
Question 2: Should I be adding my rule to the INPUT chain, or to the
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT chain.
Thanks in advance.
