Description Dag Nygren 2013-02-09 13:43:28 CET 
Description of problem:
Setting up your personal firewall with drakfirewall will create longer chain names than 28 characters if the SSID is long enough. This makes iptables barf and the firewall will not start. And as Networkmanager (?) keeps the names and settings for previously visited WLAN:s it is enough if you have ever visited a WLAN like that.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.18-1


How reproducible:
Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to WLAN with long name
2. Run drakfirewall and set up your firewall
3. Shorewall will not start due to iptables error

You can work around this by:
1. Remove the WLAN connection from Netwok manager (ie. through plasma applet)
2. Remove the entries in /etc/shorewall/zones for the offending SSID
3. Restart shorewall

Perhaps just cut off the name of the chain at the max limit? If you have multiple exchange the last character with 1.2.3.4.5 and os on?
