I''m going to give some general advice that hopefully you will be able
to use
in debugging your problem. Mainly because none of us know your network
layout.
1: The only thing the firewall could be doing is not passing packets on a
particular port. Therefore, run
netstat -tuna
on your server to see what ports are open.
(netstat -tunap will try and associate a program with them if you like)
walk down that list making sure that any port that is currently open that is
important to you administering your box has a rule in your rules file.
2: check the troubleshooting section of the shorewall website. In
particular, read the big read letters that give instructions about what to
do before you post a request for help to the list.
HTH, (and I''m SURE it''s just that you don''t have a
rule set somewhere but I
don''t use Webmin so I don''t know if it uses any extra ports
other than 80)

Subject: [Shorewall-users] Quick question
Hello all, I am new to the list and new to Shorewall so let me start by
saying I am so far most impressed with it.
I have one or two minor issues to workout, including the following. I
have Webmin installed on a Internet services server that I seem to be
unable to access when I used to be able too. I can get to the login
screen but it continues to fail its logins. I do not think its a problem
with Webmin as I have similar issues when forwarding to parts of my
MySQL databases, (but only parts which is my next issue to tackle). I
can ssh in to the server through the firewall but it takes a while for
the password prompt to appear. I have a second server behind the
firewall for web media services that has no issues at all.
The difficulty here is that the servers are not locally accessible being
co-located at a high bandwidth capable server farm, so all
administration maintenance must come from the outside. What in the
firewall may be causing this to fail?
Thanks
Shad
