http://www.linuxbsdos.com – When Sperical Cow hits the digital shelves sometime in late October or early November, users will have to get used to a new firewall management application. Sperical Cow is, of course the code-name for Fedora 18, the next stable release of Fedora. On current versions of Fedora, the firewall management application is system-config-firewall, a static firewall application that requires a refresh of the firewall with any rule change. The new application will provide a dynamic system that will not require a refresh or reload of the firewall, even after a rule change. The new kid on the block is c (General)

Stories similar to Fedora 18 and Firewalld

The story starts when I read the news about Linux Trojan. I tried to block the IP of that trojan but one led to another and now I'm confused about Fedora firewall.

However I wonder if anyone can help to figure out what's the difference between firewall and firewalld? Should I download firewalld on my system? Which one is better original firewall comes with fedora 17 or firewalld?

Disable Firewall in Fedora? 45 weeks 5 days ago

Hi,

I currently use a firewall setup using the Fedora Firewall Configuration program. I would like to remove this firewall so that I can use my own Firewall script that uses iptables.

How can I do this?

I need a firewall because I was decade long user of internet security suites on windows.

I have an internal application sitting behind a firewall that has to FTP some files to uploads.google.com. I asked our network/sys admin to create a rule to allow it and they did, based on the IP of uploads.google.com.

However, Google change their IP address for this name from time to time and when they do, obviously the rule stops working.

Hello all,I seem to have a broken centos 6.2 firewall on my server.If I use system-config-firewall to edit ports and such and try to apply the new rule set, the firewall gui... [by MadProfessor]

I have an F17 box set up as a firewall. That all seems to be working fine.

But if I try to log into Gnome, I get a cute little picture telling me that something has gone wrong.

In the system log, I see the message: WARNING: Application 'gnome-settings-daemon.desktop' failed to register before timeout.

If I stop the firewall, i can then log in, restart the firewall, and all works well.

Configuring Source And Destination NAT With Firewall Builder

Firewall Builder is a firewall configuration and management GUI that supports configuring a wide range of firewalls from a single application. Supported firewalls include Linux iptables, BSD pf, Cisco ASA/PIX, Cisco router access lists and many more.

Running Fedora 17 x86_64. I have opened a few ports using system-config-firewall. After saving and appling the changes, the ports still are blocked. If I stop and start the firewall, things appear to be working. When the machine boots up, the ports appear to be blocked. If I stop and start the firewall, things work as expected.

Anyone see this type of behavior?
