Hi all,

Not too long ago I noticed what I thought was a surprising change in the
default firewall for systems I kickstart.
Despite just having 'firewall --enabled' in my kickstart, I found this rule
in RH-Firewall-1-INPUT:
-A -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

Why the heck is ssh globally open when I didn't specify it in my kickstart?
I found that it was somewhat hard to modify the firewall in %post, so that
now I dump a short script in /root that runs on the first boot and removes
this (in favor of local rules).

I did a little googling, and didn't see any reference to this, but I find it
alarming.  Anybody else?

Regards,
David
