There seems to be a bug in the firewall configuration stuff.
If you configure no firewall, you get one anyway. With no firewall
supposedly configured:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables status
Table: filter
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp any
ACCEPT ipv6-crypt-- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT ipv6-auth-- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:smtp
REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
and SMB traffic is blocked, stopping the SMB share discoveries.
You can work around this bug by doing:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop
and then configuring the SMB printer.
Every time you want to print something, you will have to drop
the broken no-firewall firewall if you have restarted it.
Anybody got any ideas what the bug is?
