Package: ferm Version: 2.4-1 Severity: normal
The output from "ferm --remote --slow" differs from run to run on the same input file. As far as I can see, it's generating the "iptables -P" commands in some non-deterministic order. For example, this input file ---- table filter { chain INPUT { policy DROP; mod state state (ESTABLISHED RELATED) ACCEPT; } chain FORWARD policy DROP; chain OUTPUT policy ACCEPT; } ---- generates different orderings each time it is run. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ferm depends on: ii debconf 1.5.69 ii init-system-helpers 1.54 ii iptables 1.6.2-1.1 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 ii perl 5.26.2-7 Versions of packages ferm recommends: ii libnet-dns-perl 1.17-1 ferm suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/ferm/ferm.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/ferm/ferm.conf' -- debconf information excluded
