[webmin-l] Linux Firewall Module

[Fred G. <fr...@fr...>]

I am having a problem with this module on Red Hat 7.3, current, IPTables 1.2.8-8.72.3, with Webmin 
1.106. Maybe someone can help? Here's the story.

I go to the "Easy Firewall Generator for IPTables" sit at http://morizot.net/firewall/gen/ and generate a 
fairly straight forward script that just allows a few basic services. The configuration is:

Static Internet IP Address 
Single System
Allow Inbound Services (TCP 22, 25, 110, 113,80, 443, 10000)

After the script is generated I drop it into the system as /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables and stop and start 
iptables. The firewall behaves as expected.

Next I go into Webmin's Linux Firewall Module and do the few things needed in Module Config to get it to 
see the script. The module gives me a very impressive view of all the rules, but if I want to make 
changes, I can't save them. The Apply Configuration, Revert Configuration, and Active at Boot buttons 
are absent.

I have read the help that comes with the module, and it says "If you already have a firewall on your 
system that has been setup manually or from a script file, the module will offer to convert it to an IPtables 
save file for you, and create a script to be run at boot time to activate the rules in the file." But I never get 
this offer. The module obviously reads and understands the /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables file - it looks great! 
What am I missing here?

Can someone whip up a quickie firewall at the above site and maybe see why the Webmin module isn't 
doing what I think it's supposed to?

Thanks for your time.
