	Ok, while I was trying to gather the info, traffic started moving...
I''ll
throw the problem out here anyways ;) I''m running 1.3.9b on my firewall
and I''m using the following 2 scripts to regulate net access from the
kids
machine:
[hparker@linux bin]# cat msn.down
#!/bin/sh
shorewall reject 172.16.1.5
shorewall reject 172.16.1.5
shorewall save
exit 0
[hparker@linux bin]# cat msn.up
#!/bin/sh
shorewall allow 172.16.1.5
shorewall allow 172.16.1.5
shorewall save
exit 0
[hparker@linux bin]# 
	The problem is, it doesn''t always clear the dynamic rules... I ran
msn.up
three times this morning... Was trying to get all the cut-n-paste in order
on the fourth run, and it finally cleared... What was really strange, I
ran msn.up twice in a row, and it said the dynamic rules didn''t exist,
yet
shorewall status showed them in place?? I then ran msn.down, msn.up and it
cleared... I had the kids reboot before I started messing with it to be
sure it wasn''t just Windows haveing a problem.. I saw in
/var/log/messages
where they got their IP from dhcp, yet still couldn''t surf... I just
have
these running from cron at the appropriate times... It will usually clear
on it''s own after a period of time??? I say this, as this is the first
time I''ve looked into it, yet it eventually allows them to surf...
Here''s
the /etc/crontab entries:
# Block late night chatting
0 21 * * 0-4 root /home/hparker/bin/msn.down
0 00 * * 5-6 root /home/hparker/bin/msn.down
0 7 * * * root /home/hparker/bin/msn.up
	So, every morning at 7am, the net comes back... Well, it''s supposed...
I
scrolled back and found the ''shorewall status'' that showed the
dynamic
rules in place:
Chain dynamic (6 references)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source              
destination         
  726 53119 reject     all  --  *      *       172.16.1.5          
0.0.0.0/0          
    0     0 reject     all  --  *      *       172.16.1.5          
0.0.0.0/0          
	Anyone got a clue on this one?

It would be safer to code "/sbin/shorewall" rather than just "shorewall". -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy AIM: tmeastep \ http://www.shorewall.net ICQ: #60745924 \ teastep@shorewall.net
