similar to: How to preserve iptables when running the GUI tool ?

Hi, I'm using the generic system-config-securitylevel-tui program on a remote server to configure my firewall. So far it's been fairly decent, allowing me to open up ports and whatnot. But I want to start blocking a couple of outgoing ports on my machine. I want to lock it down so the only traffic going in our out of my machine is stuff that I specify. Is there a way to do this

Hello Is there a way for the dhcp client to send the current host name of the machine when requesting a lease ? Currently I have to include a line like DHCP_HOSTNAME=appserver2 in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, but I would like to tell the dhcp client to just 'also send the hostname' and then the client to get the current hostname itself, instead of having the name

Hi, This is semi-OT, but is Centos-related. I'm looking for an IPTables GUI to help us with our expanding network configuration. I know there's plenty out there, but most of them seem to manage the firewall on the computer on which they run, or only handle one firewall at a time. I need one that can easily manage multiple firewalls from some sort of central location/repository, i.e.

Hello, When i did the basic CentOS install i selected incoming ssh, ftp, www, and smtp in the configuration dialog. Now my needs have changed and i'd like to add to those rules with samba, this box runs it, and bacula the client. I was wondering a howto on what to put, i know the ports i need, or a web configuration util? Thanks. Dave.

Hello I have a large list of URLs (from a database, generated automatically during tests) that I want to download using several wget processes at the same time. With our internal web servers, this will be a lot faster than downloading the pages one at a time with a single process. So I create 20 pipes in my script with `mkfifo? and connect the read end of each one to a new wget process for

So I use Samba on my home network. I open the samba ports in the GUI tool for CentOS 4. Here is the problem. Every time I reboot I'm forced to run system-config-securitylevel to get firewall ports open again. So like if I reboot samba won't work. I go into that tool either via command line or via the GUI and I simply click "ok" and samba is suddenly open. Does anyone know what

Hi. I have enabled the basic firewall that includes CentOs 4.3 enabling only ssh port. In which log could I view the attempts to other ports? Have I to use iptables instead that firewall to view that? Iago. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hello listmates, I know this may sound stupid... but I am trying to set up a firewall/filter/forwarder using CentOS 5.5 machine as a platform and I am succeeding but only partially. Fro example, I am literally trying to forward HTTP and HTTPS (TCP 80 and 443) from the public interface to a private IP and TCP 80 works like a charm whereas TCP 443 seems to be a no-go. To that effect: does anyone

Hello Sorry for the (I guess) simple question, but: I have 7 computers under one 8-port router (D-Link DIR-100, firmware v1.13EU) in my network (actually in a sub-network) and they do not see each other's host names. The router has the 'DNS relay' option enabled, and all 7 computers use the router as the DNS server, which in turn will forward DNS requests to the ISP DNS server.

In following up on the rsh "problem" I was having earlier, I decided to try out the suggestion Felipe sent about using system-config-securitylevel-tui to open up ports 513 and 514, but that doesn't seem to do the job, either. # iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere

Greetings: i have a pretty stock CentOS 5 machine with ports 80 and 22 exposed, so my /etc/sysconfig/iptables file is pretty standard/straightforward. my question is: how is this config file initially generated? i'd like to re-create it, and add a couple of rules .... so i don't want to lose what's in there already. i see that my /etc/sysconfig/system-config-securitylevel has

Hi all, ?What iptables do you use to manage iptables? ?Or maybe not? Simply curiosity, so I'm coming from openSUSE and in that distro there is a YaST module front-end (YaST firewall).

I would like to use dnsmasq to cache nameserver query results, and I have set dhcp to prepend the 127.0.0.1 name-server to the list of nameservers. dnsmasq would then automatically exclude the localhost as a name server and use all the others from the list provided by dhcp. But it was too nice to be true, because NetworkManager was there, ready to mess up anything I try to do, including the

I need a decent, easy, firewall on Centos. This is for test systems, so I do not need a lot. For 'a lot', I use and Astaro firewall. I had used Firestarter once, but found out that it cannot handle routing between a public and private network. Basically saying this is impossible. Of course, if your private network is addressed per RFC 1918 (that I co-authored), I can understand

Hello On my network there is no domain master browser, and my nmbd is spamming my /var/log/messages file with messages that it cound not find one. Can I configure nmbd not to look for the domain master browser ? Thank you, Timothy Madden

We have kernel support for IPv6 in Centos, but not stateful firewall support. That requires at least the 2.6.20 kernel, which means Fedora Core 6 or some other Linux distro. None of the various free Linux firewalls have IPv6 support. Supposedly FWBuilder can manage Netfilters for a Linux Kernel, but that seems to be the extent of it. More sad facts as I uncover them.....

Well FWbuilder is NOT easy. The documentation does not match the current GUI. Now the box is locked up. I will have to pull it again, hook it up to a kybd/VGA and reset iptables.... Maybe Shoreline with webmin.... Problem is I want a REAL router/firewall with little work. Both public and private nets have routable addresses. No NATing for me! I just help write the RFC ;) And all the
