Instead of entering port 22 as a "Trusted Port", enter it manually as an "Other Port".What is it with Linux (ie Fedora, Ubuntu, etc) and firewall managers ? Firestarter was crap for years and now we have this ?I think I know why Samba wasn't working when I set it up last week. I spent at least a day working on it. I never thought to run nmap. Live, pay and learn.LG > The workaround is just that. But you should investigate it more. I am on F14 - opened port 22 via GUI firewall, applied it, and a new rule showed up in config file and in iptables. Then I rebooted and all was as expected. You should test it on your F? distro as well and expect it to be OK. The only theoretical possibilty to have firewall and its config file /etc/sysconfig/iptables (if any initially) and iptables itself out of sync is right during system installation or later after re-installation of either firewall or iptables packages. In case of installation of the firewall package system-config-firewall, it would require a post-installation action to generate /etc/sysconfig/iptables file (this file is obviously not part of the package as '# rpm -ql system-config-firewall' shows). So, you should test this case as well: - get offline - remove firewall # yum remove system-config-firewall - remove old iptables and ip6tables config files (if IPv6 present as well) # rm /etc/sysconfig/iptables # rm /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables - restart iptables and ip6tables services to clear it up This will depend on which F? you are on. - re-install firewall # yum install system-config-firewall - now see what you got, if any # ls -l /etc/sysconfig/iptables* # ls -l /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables* Did the installation run post-install action and create them ? If so, is that default open port 22 reflected in the rules there ? # cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables # cat /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables If so, is that also reflected in iptables itself ? # iptables -n -L -v Draw conclusions from all of this and eventually submit a Bugzilla report.
