Hi, I am running Asterisks on Public IP with Fedora Core 3. What is the recommendation for making Linux secure on the Public IP since I am new to Linux. Which Firewall should I use? I am not intending to use Linux as router. Can any one provide some configuration documentation. Obaid Siddiqui.

Which Firewall should I use? I am not intending to > use Linux as router.I wrote a simple iptables script for Rapid. You can find it inside the rapid-scripts deb package. Not as modular as shorewall, but then again, fits the bill for a one-interface server. It is part of the rapid-script debian package, e.g: http://updates.xorcom.com/rapid/pool/xorcom/rapid-scripts_1.0.1_all.deb Extract etc/init.d/firewall from it. The command 'clear' will clear all rules. Otherwise it will set the iptables rules. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzafrir@jbr.cohens.org.il | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzafrir@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend
You should be able to do a good job with IPTABLES which is included in FC3. You can limit source & destp IP and protocol, etc. Type "man iptables | more" for more details...
