Dudydoo Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 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.

mezz Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 RedHat is using iptables by default, which there have GUI configure made by RedHat. It's in the some where control area. Start with -> http://www.redhat.com/docs/ , RedHat created many nice manuals, docs, how-to and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMaster Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 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.
