Thank you very much - unfortunately that has not solved my problem - for example, I have port 22 for SSH open in the public zone, which has no source restrictions:

Only selected incoming connections are accepted.</description> <service name="ssh"/> <service name="dhcpv6-client"/> <service name="cockpit"/> <forward/> </zone>
And the Icinga zone as in previous emails, and the new policy as follows:
<policy target="CONTINUE"> <service name="icinga"/> <ingress-zone name="icinga"/> <ingress-zone name="public"/> <egress-zone name="HOST"/> </policy>
But it still seems that the servers in the icinga ipset cannot SSH to the server that has this firewall - they _only_ are allowed to access the icinga service. Basically I want to restrict who can access the icinga port, but otherwise let any servers, including the icinga servers themselves, access any other services - and do this in a way that allows me, the monitoring admin to only need to drop in XML files or something similar via an RPM,
This is a bug with policies. :( Policies were not considering the default zone when classifying traffic.
It's fixed on the latest upstream master branch. (next release)
As a workaround for older release you'll either need to assign a source/interface.. or duplicate your service to both zones. Sorry.
Thank you,
Will.

Is there a way to get firewalld to evaluate rules in multiple zones in a chain like icinga -> public -> DENY?
No. But you can use a policy to common-ize some things. The below policy applies to both zones, icinga and public.
e.g.
# firewall-cmd --permanent --new-policy mypolicy # firewall-cmd --permanent --policy mypolicy --add-ingress-zone icinga # firewall-cmd --permanent --policy mypolicy --add-ingress-zone public # firewall-cmd --permanent --policy mypolicy --add-egress-zone HOST # firewall-cmd --permanent --policy mypolicy --add-service cinga # firewall-cmd --reload
Then you could add your unique services, e.g. https, to the public zone or a separate policy.
Hope that helps. Eric.

A source to what, sorry? I can't see that policies can have sources/interfaces set. (This is v1.1.1 on EL9)
There's really no easy way to only allow certain IP addresses to access certain services on a system?
Thanks,
Will.
