Package: ferm
Version: 2.0.7-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/ferm
It is sometimes natural to want to write rules such as this:
if eth0 {
chain INPUT ACCEPT;
chain OUTPUT ACCEPT;
}
However, ferm complains:
Error in ferm.conf line 1:
if <--
Chain must be specified
This requirement seems rather arbitrary; in fact it can be worked around
by adding a chain directive before the `if', but this causes warnings
when the chain is overridden within the block. It would seem to be much
better if ferm would check that a chain is specified only once the `;' is
seen.
