Failed to create firewall rules

I pressed Reset Firewall, there were no rules... then pressed "Block all except ports used for virtual hosting, on interface": selected the interface eth0 and "Setup firewall" .. now I see a list of rules.. ok... then press "Apply configuration" and this is the output: Failed to apply configuration :

iptables-restore v1.3.6: invalid port/service 25,587' specified Error occurred at line: 63 Tryiptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.

what's wrong ? Thank you!

That's OK. It's well-placed in the "Help!" forum.

You can't use a comma in the port field. You need two rules for two services.

thank you
I didn't put the comma... just pressed the option for "Block all except ports used for virtual hosting, on interface" and dii all those rules for me....
anyway... I tried the other option... "Block all except SSH and IDENT on external interface" and it works... and added some other ports using comma in one of the rules.... and didn't complain about the comma and it is working.

Funny. I've never used a comma before in a rule...and iptables on my system isn't liking it. Sounds like maybe there's a bug in that particular option.

Might be worth filing a ticket, if the problem is reproduce-able.

it is reproducable, i get the exact same error doing the exact same thing on Debian, and I can clearly see comma separated values in the iptables rules. if i remove the offending ports with the commas, then all works ok. :)

Yes, this is a bug .. the upcoming 1.460 release of Webmin will fix it though.

I can also reproduce this on both clean install of Debian 5 and CentOS 5.2.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Webmin / Networking / Linux Firewall
2. Reset Firewall
3. Block all except ports used for virtual hosting, on interface: eth0
4. Apply Configuration
5. Following error appears:

Failed to apply configuration :

iptables-restore v1.4.2: invalid port/service `25,587' specified
Error occurred at line: 63
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.

So...file a bug and Jamie will fix it. Better hurry, as the next version of Webmin is only a day or two away. ;-)
