Changes for version 1.6.1 - 2015-11-27

  • Add 'tmpdir', 'iptout_pat', and 'ipterr_pat' optional hash keys when acquiring an IPTables::Parse object. These keys allow a temporary directory to be specified for iptables stdout/stderr, and the default paths are '/some/tmp/dir/iptout.XXXXXX' and '/some/tmp/dir/ipterr.XXXXXX' respectively. The 'iptout_pat' and 'ipterr_pat' keys allow the file paths to be changed.
  • If the path to firewall-cmd/iptables/ip6tables was not specified when acquiring an IPTables::Parse object, then an attempt will be made to find the appropriate path in the filesystem. The directories '/sbin', '/usr/sbin', '/bin', and '/usr/bin' are searched in that order.
