           Summary: can't handle True and False from /etc/sysctl.conf
           Product: msec
           Version: 0.38-5mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msec

        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


In libmsec.py, set_zero_one_variable() can't handle "True" or "False" values
from /etc/sysctl.conf
See the attached patch for a possible solution.

For example, with this line in /etc/sysctl.conf :
net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses=False
msec dies with a ValueError exception :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/msec/msec.py", line 266, in ?
    commit_changes()
  File "/usr/share/msec/mseclib.py", line 24, in commit_changes
    apply(f[0], f[1])
  File "/usr/share/msec/libmsec.py", line 899, in accept_bogus_error_responses
    set_zero_one_variable(SYSCTLCONF,
'net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses', not arg, 1, 'Ignoring bogus icmp
error responses', 'Accepting bogus icmp error responses')
  File "/usr/share/msec/libmsec.py", line 820, in set_zero_one_variable
    val=int(val)
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): False
