Package: webmin-firewall
Severity: important
I installed to systems with Sarge and then installed webmin and
webmin-firewall. On both systems, the webmin-firewall module doesn't
provide the option to "Activate at boot". I only discovered this by
accident when running a security check on a system that had been
rebooted - which I found was wide open.
I uninstalled the debian modules and then hand installed webmin 1.220
from the webmin site and it all worked fine.
This seems like a serious security issue as people can easily configure
their firewall without realising it will not persist.
