I''m very new to shorewall. My setup is IP Gateway (CentOS 4 + Shorewall) with 3 NIC cards. Shorewall works great on the firewall machine. Bind also works (local net machines get IPs fine). Under firestarter, all works great. With shorewall, the loc machines can not route past the firewall. They can connect to the firewall, but not past it. Exactly what information should I post to get

I want to add two IP ranges on one NIC card (eth0 and eth0:1). Has anyone done this before? The CentOS 4 gui keeps locking up when I try it there and the command line ifconfig seems to work, but ifup always returns the error that is never heard (no such device) of eth0:1 thanks

Everytime I try to recompile a kernel, "make modules" always dies with the error: mv: cannot stat `include/asm-i386/asm_offsets.h.tmp': No such file or directory make: *** [include/asm-i386/asm_offsets.h] Error 1 I installed the src RPM and kernel-devel ... any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong? Thanks!!

Hi all I have succesfully set up PPTP VPN access to my company using PoPToP/pppd (thank you Tom for excellent documentation), everything works fine so far. Problem is security. As I understand it, since PPTP ports trough tunnel are opened to whole Internet (have to be), access verification is now based only on username/password combination. Can level of security be raised with MAC verification?

I am trying to log into a desktop that is running CentOS 4.2 by tennelling VNC through SSH.. The desktop auto-logins a user, then sits there waiting for me to login. On the client side, I fire up SSH tunneling ssh -L 8000:127.0.0.1:5900 The client spits back the error vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused Unable to connect to VNC server The server says channel 5: open

...oooqs ) to help speed up the loading of open office 2.0 when using KDE. Also, I've told KDE to issue the command oofromtemplate -invisible by putting it in a simple script in .kde/Autostart For some reason, when oooqs has the settings below (screenshot link - http://users.zoominternet.net/~ryanag/oofficeqs.png ) everything works perfectly. Open Office loads from a cold start in about 3.5 seconds. When I don't use the oooqs, the script does not work - it prevents open office from loading. Does anyone have any idea what oooqs is doing that makes my script work? Since I'm using Op...

I'm trying to lock down Apache and SSH by using TCP Wrappers. I put /etc/hosts.allow to be httpd: IP#1 IP#2 127.0.0.1 sshd: IP#1 IP#2 127.0.0.1 and hosts.deny ALL: ALL This seems to work great for ssh, and not at all for httpd. Does anyone know why this would be? thanks

I would add the below: -Recommend using CentOS 4.0 -Use squid rpm, no tar (this is for new users I'm guessing). -Recommend using etherape and iptraf (available as rpms) for a graphical overview of traffic. http://etherape.sourceforge.net/ -Recommend the use of chkrootkit, and TCP Wrappers (at the least put ALL: ALL EXCEPT PARANOID in /etc/hosts.allow) to protect servers. -Provide some

Does anyone have any recommendations for network monitoring systems that work with CentOS 3 or 4? thanks

I am used to sendmail and am using Postfix now and am uncertain of some features. I typically would comment out the line in sendmail.mc that went something like 'accept unresolvable domains' I tried using smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unverified_sender reject_unverified_smtp and this seems a bit too restrictive and got some bounces on legitimate senders so I'm

I have a CentOS 4 running on a laptop with an orinico card. My Wireless access point supports 802.1x dynamic WEP keys, and I would like to try it in this mode. Unfortunately, its not clear to me on how to: #1: Configure free radius on a server to do the radius backend. (although I think I can solve this) #2: Configure CentOS 4 to use dynamic WEP keys. If anyone knows how to do either of the
