Bug Description

Users should be able to delete rules by their number. Rule numbers can be found by running 'ufw status numbered'.
Deleting a rule by its number would be much more user friendly than requiring the user to rewrite the rule in order to delete it.

ufw: 0.27-0ubuntu2
kernel: 2.6.28-11-generic
distro: Ubuntu 9.04 64bit

I agree with that and also look forward to a backport to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server. ;-)

I just committed preliminary support for this in trunk. I've yet to do full testing (or add regression tests), but the usage is:
# ufw delete NUM

Please see doc/ufw.8 for more information. This will be in ufw 0.30, which is also planned for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Oh, I should mention that I plan to add a confirmation to this. To avoid confirmation, simply use:
# ufw --force delete NUM

You can use this immediately.

One question, please.
The confirmation for remove by number, will be for Lucid? Thanks in advance!
Then, I can use ufw --force delete NUM in Lucid?

trunk.
