Thanks for the articles, they're informative. Here's what's really irritating me though. firewall-cmd --zone=internal --change-interface=ens224 --permanent ^^ This command results in NO ACTION TAKEN. The zone IS NOT CHANGED. firewall-cmd --zone=internal --change-interface=ens224 This command results in the zone of ens224 being changed to internal, as desired. Of course, this is not permanent. As such, firewall-cmd --reload (or a reboot, ect) will revert to the public zone. To save the change, one must execute firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent. This is very frustrating, and not obvious. If --permanent doesn't work for a command, then it should give an error - not silently fail without doing anything! -- ----------------------------------------------- - Nick Bright - - Vice President of Technology - - Valnet -=- We Connect You -=- - - Tel 888-332-1616 x 315 / Fax 620-331-0789 - - Web http://www.valnet.net/ - ----------------------------------------------- - Are your files safe? - - Valnet Vault - Secure Cloud Backup - - More information & 30 day free trial at - - http://www.valnet.net/services/valnet-vault - ----------------------------------------------- This email message and any attachments are intended solely for the use of the addressees hereof.
