Bug Description

Binary package hint: ufw

I am currently automating ubuntu installs via preseeding and one of the requirements is to enable ufw by default for a newly installed host.

Currently I dothis via a script executed at the end of the install which includes the following:

if [ -x /usr/sbin/ufw ]; then
        ufw allow OpenSSH
        ufw app default DENY
        echo y | ufw enable
fi

It would be nice if "ufw -q enable" worked without needing input.

I plan to add debconf support to ufw which means you'll be able to use preseeding for this instead.

This bug was fixed in the package ufw - 0.26-0ubuntu1

---------------
ufw (0.26-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * new upstream release, which fixes:
    - formatting of dpkg output incorrect on upgrades (LP: #300726)
    - new REJECT functionality (LP: #197322)
    - ufw shouldn't flush built-in chains by default. New MANAGE_BUILTINS
      configuration option can be used to restore the old (flush) behavior
  * debian/control:
    - Build-Depends-Indep on iptables (required for iptables version check in
      setup.py)
    - add ${misc:Depends} to Depends and bump Standards-Version to 3.8.0
    - update Description
    - move po-debconf to Build-Depends
  * added debian/watch
  * debian/source.lintian-overrides: don't complain about
    no-complete-debconf-translation
  * debian/rules:
    - rename and gzip upstream changelogs
    - rename initscript.ubuntu to ufw.init and use dh_installinit (but
      continue to use /etc/defaults/ufw installed via setup.py for now)
    - cleanup dh_installdirs
    - use dh_installexamples for example files
    - run debconf-updatepo in clean target
  * debian/postinst: remove old ufw.rules check because ufw.rules existed for
    only a short time during the Hardy development cycle, it's ignored by ufw
    and its existence is harmless.
  * debian/config and debian/templates: remove ufw/oldrules
  * provide debconf mechanism for enabling the firewall and setting some basic
    rules (LP: #307715)
