This is what you will hear from everybody fleeing Linux (I > for one started gradually moving servers to FreeBSD a while back). While the lack of outbound rules is a rather big missing feature, I don't consider 'firewalld' a step back. Just like systemd, firewalld lets you break up rules into small chunks, scoped to a particular service or zone, which makes it easier to include a firewall rule in your RPM package or Configuration Management-managed service. Right now, I jump through a bunch of hoops in my CM environment to manage a monolithic /etc/sysconfig/iptables file on our 6.5-based servers and workstations, and I'm looking forward to using firewalld in 7.x. I really don't see how this is *more* like Windows behavior. To me, it feels like a step in the right direction. And it's not like CentOS7 disables the ability to use iptables, or makes it incredibly difficult to switch. -- Jonathan Billings <billings@xxxxxxxxxx>
