Title: Cannot edit/delete outgoing rule in 2.5.1
Post by: n9yty on Wednesday 01 February 2012, 10:29:13 am
I had a failed upgrade attempt from 2.5 to 2.5.1.  Even after tying to patch it up, it was unstable.  I noticed here that I could not delete a rule that was in the 'outgoing' section, nor could I disable them.  I did not try to add because I didn't want to put anything more in there if I could not delete them.

I wiped everything out and installed from the 2.5.1 community ISO and did a restore from backup of the config files.  This worked incredibly well, everything came up and seemed stable, but the problem remains that I can not delete or disable rules in the 'outgoing' section of the firewall.

Anyone else seeing this?

Somehow this seems an artifact of the restore, permissions on /var/efw/zonefw/config were wrong.

However, even after this reload/restore fiasco I have given up on 2.5.1 for now, it was not properly respecting inter zone rules, no DNS could flow between GREEN and ORANGE even though other traffic could.  I finally reloaded 2.4.1 and restored my configs and all is good again.  I think I'll be staying on that release for quite a while.
