This bug has been patched and merged upstream. I have a patch in my bzr repo and it should go into the next package update (hopefully ;o}
Thanks for the report, Caleb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r2849 | ssmalley | 2008-03-18 16:25:27 -0400 (Tue, 18 Mar 2008) | 33 lines Author: Caleb Case Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: policycoreutils semanage --proto --protocol inconsistent flags Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:31:16 -0400 semanage --help indicates two conflicting ways of using the port protocol flag: # semanage --help | grep proto semanage port -{a|d|m} [-tr] [ -p protocol ] port | port_range -p, --proto Port protocol (tcp or udp) That is --protocol and --proto. The code paths are similarly conflicted with --protocol as the 'valid_option', but --proto as the flag actually used in getopt. This results in --protocol not being recognized: # semanage port -t ftp_port_t -a --protocol tcp 12345 /usr/sbin/semanage: Options Error option --protocol not recognized The port is not added in this case. Using --proto instead results in a 'not valid for port objects' error, but the error is ignored and the port added: # semanage port -t ftp_port_t -a --proto tcp 12345 --proto not valid for port objects # semanage port -l | grep 12345 ftp_port_t tcp 12345, 21 The man pages for semanage are also inconsistent. This patch resolves the inconsistency to use --proto. -- semanage tool add port indicates non existant error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
