[libvirt-users] Why does libvirt use XML firewall rules?

discussion started. IMHO, saving rules into XML instead of using iptables-save is absurd since you’ll have to code stuff which is already coded. Also you’ll make it incompatible with the tools which are readily available. Why go for this approach and what do we get from it? Best regards, -Hansa

Re: [libvirt-users] Custom firewall rules

Nobody? Most firewall tools I looked at break libvirts’ invoked rules because they create their own rule file. Is there one that collaborates with libvirts’ (xml) format? -Hansa From: libvirt-users-boun...@redhat.com [mailto:libvirt-users-boun...@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Hansa Sent

[libvirt-users] Custom firewall rules

Hi, Normally I’m using webmin to manage my firewall. Webmin fw however breaks the iptable rules invoked by libvirt. Is there a fw tool (beside iptables console command) which can be used without breaking libvirts’ rules? -Hansa
