good old iptables service

[merilius]

Is there a way not to use firewalld in F17, but to have instead good old iptables service?

I am running Fedora on my server/router and have a fairly complex /etc/sysconfig/iptables configuration (which I edit by hand). From what I have read F17 implements firewalld which has some benefits for desktop users (ease of use) but is nowhere close in sophistication to what you can do with iptables (and patch-o-matic) on your own.

Is there a solution for me?

Starting with this (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-April/166054.html) post in a thread on the dev mailing list, you may not have to worry about firewalld until F18. If it does land in F17, the release notes should explain how to revert to iptables.
