Title:
ufw manpage bug (some usage missing), suggested improvements to -help
Status in ufw package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
the ufw manpage USAGE summary (top of manpage) does not list the
syntax for adding app profiles to your firewall.
USAGE
ufw [--dry-run] enable|disable|reload
ufw [--dry-run] default allow|deny|reject [incoming|outgoing]
ufw [--dry-run] logging on|off|LEVEL
ufw [--dry-run] reset
ufw [--dry-run] status [verbose|numbered]
ufw [--dry-run] show REPORT
ufw [--dry-run] [delete] [insert NUM] allow|deny|reject|limit
[in|out] [log|log-all] PORT[/protocol]
ufw [--dry-run] [delete] [insert NUM] allow|deny|reject|limit [in|out
on INTERFACE] [log|log-all] [proto protocol] [from ADDRESS [port PORT]] [to
ADDRESS [port PORT]]
ufw [--dry-run] delete NUM
ufw [--dry-run] app list|info|default|update
I'd suggest something like:
ufw [--dry-run] [delete] [insert NUM] allow|deny|reject|limit
[in|out] [log|log-all] [ PORT[/protocol] | AppProfileName ]
...assuming that all the potential arguments are valid when you use an
application profile name.
Additionally, the ufw --help text doesn't really explain this either.
----
# ufw help
Usage: ufw COMMAND
Commands:
enable enables the firewall
disable disables the firewall
default ARG set default policy
logging LEVEL set logging to LEVEL
allow ARGS add allow rule
deny ARGS add deny rule
reject ARGS add reject rule
limit ARGS add limit rule
delete RULE|NUM delete RULE
insert NUM RULE insert RULE at NUM
reset reset firewall
status show firewall status
status numbered show firewall status as numbered list of
RULES
status verbose show verbose firewall status
show ARG show firewall report
version display version information
Application profile commands:
app list list application profiles
app info PROFILE show information on PROFILE
app update PROFILE update PROFILE
app default ARG set default application policy
----
I'd suggest changing:
allow ARGS|AppProfile add allow rule or enable an application
profile
...and presumably something similar for "deny." You might alternately
put something like this in the Application Profile commands section:
Application profile commands:
app list list application profiles
app info PROFILE show information on PROFILE
app update PROFILE update PROFILE
app default ARG set default application policy
allow PROFILE add allow rules defined in PROFILE
thanks!
