it is possible to provide a port range here. More information is available in the redhat docs. redhat.com/docs.
Where? I've looked in the RH documentation, the Security guide etc. I've run a couple searches. I've tried all of the "standard" range indicators (-:;,) ....
I'll continue to google it, to see if I find anything, but if you have a specific link, that would be great!
I've read the Python code to the extent I'm able, and it *doesn't* appear to be possible. Colons are recognized as a token to separate ports and protocols, but other than that, only the first series of numerals up to any non-numeral will be used as a port designator. In other words, if you enter something like 9990-9999:tcp, no error gets thrown, but what iptables will get is "--port 9990:tcp". Of course the iptables command will take ranges, but not system-config-securitylevel.
Rahul, from what source are you deriving this?
