Firewall Configuration


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how to enable logging for ipchains and iptables on redhat?

Also does anyone know any good links for learning these firewalls for a newbie?

I have trouble usually getting them to let samba through for my internal LAN while blocking external access.

I'm super lazy. I prefer the term Motivationally Firewall Challenged ( MFC ). I tried learning the rules but they take too long. Got to freshmeat.org and look up iptables and ipchains. I guarantee you'll find something that work. This firewall called Seawall http://seawall.sourceforge.net/ is one i've used it on my router at home and does a great job.

Read the instructions before you go on. If you have problems you have to delete the directory in /etc/seawall and you have to take seawall from the inittab so it doesn't try to start it on reboot.
