While the logic of the above makes sense, the below bit is somewhat surprising since it's not quite what we expect. You expect stored settings to be stored AND applied. There doesn't appear to be a one- step process to do that, either in command line or using the GUI. > When you make a change with --permanent, it is stored, and will take > effect on future boots, but it is not applied to the current config. > You need to run the same command without the --permanent to apply to > the current running config. Adding to the confusion, if you're using the GUI, is that you see messages at the bottom of the screen after making any changes: Connection to firewalld established. Changes applied. You expect that to mean something more than it says. However, like with the command line, there is a reload firewalld option in the GUI menu which will make your permanently settings apply now. So you don't have to make the same changes in both modes. And there is the opposite, to store your temporary runtime changes into the permanent settings. So the same kind of thing you mentioned (about storing and reloading commands) can be done in GUI operations and command line modes. We're more used to controls doing something immediately. This is more akin to editing a configuration file, then restarting the service. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.90.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 4 15:21:22 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
