Package: ufw
Version: 0.29.3-1
Severity: minor
[i.e. ufw in squeeze]
Hi,
It seems like this bug was already fixed in 0.30.1, whether intentionally or
not, so it's just so that there's a record:
When setting the default forward policy in /etc/defaults/ufw to REJECT the
following code block is executed, which produces an error and makes ufw say it
failed to enable the firewall:
> if [ "$DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY" = "REJECT" ]; then
> cat <<EOM | $exe-restore -n || error="yes"
> *filter
> -A ufw${type}-reject-forward -j REJECT || error="yes"
> COMMIT
> EOM
> fi
The original error ("ERROR: problem running ufw-init") was not really helpful,
maybe there should be some way to make it easier to debug.
For the benefit of search engines, running ufw-init manually made the bug
easier to find, as it printed:
> Bad argument `||'
> Error occurred at line: 2
> Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.
Cheers,
