Description Menno Z 2005-08-18 13:03:48 UTC

Since SUSE 9.3 port ranges are not a valid option in the Advanced tab of allowed
services/ports, in 9.2 a range could be entered like 1024:2048 but in 9.3 and
10.0 beta 1 it just gives the error "Port name '1024:2048' is unknown in your
current system. It probably would not work at all." It then asks if you really
want to continue, when saying continue it will add a bunch of services in the
list of allowed services (and those services are not even close to the port
range entered)

I should have waited 2 hours more so i could test this with Beta 2, it is fixed
in there.

You couldn't have know that before Beta2 has been released. Port ranges are
supported but there's no mention about it neither in the help nor in the manual.
So you, at least, need to know the SuSEfirewall2's syntax (or iptables). That's
why it is [Advanced...].

Documentation will be added into the next release, probably SUSE Linux 10.1.

Nevertheless thanks for resolving and testing this bug by yourself.
