It has been asserted that the use of CVS for maintaining the Shorewall documentation has been a barrier to community participation. To test this theory, Alex Martin has created a Wiki (http://wiki.rettc.com/wiki.phtml?title=Wiki_Shorewall_FAQ) and with the help of Mike Noyes Alex has populated the Wiki with the Shorewall FAQ. Feedback is welcome. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a

Hello, Mike Noyes and myself have populated http://wiki.rettc.com with the shorewall FAQ. This wiki is running MediaWiki, http://www.mediawiki.org. Currently, a couple items are not complete. I have just begun a heavy semester of mathematics/physics studies, and do not have much time to give to this. But, it is online, and seems to be stable. I will keep an eye out for abuse, and limit

Hello, I have a naked mediawiki running, from http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/ The wiki is here: http://wiki.rettc.com Let me know what you think, and if it will be suitable for populating with FAQ stuffs. Alex http://www.rettc.com

Hello, In reference to http://wiki.rettc.com/wiki.phtml?title=Wiki_Shorewall_FAQ ; Well, after a lot of emails I setup a wiki for shorewall, etc. It has proved to be completely useless. I have noticed one slight distro specific example added, a couple typo additions and fixes, otherwise, all contributions have been in excess (Tom...), or in malign. For my uses it has proven of little use as

Hello, I have the go ahead to fix documentation. For starters I will clean all extraneous crap from the markup. Then fix any errors and typos. If anyone sees any gramatical errors or typos or needed clarifications or expansions or whatever, please post them here. Or additional FAQ entries, etc, all will be considered. I hope to keep most of this conversation on the shorewall-devel list. Any

My sincere apologies to all on this list. After looking for returning packets with tcpdump and not finding ANY I called our provider to confirm our IP assignment. The IP range that I was given by my boss was incorrect. After adjusting the ip assignments, everything is working perfectly. Thank you all for your time in troubleshooting this, and I hope to be able to return the favor at some

Hello, Is is possible to do "shorewall reject 1.1.1.1 tcp 25" ? So I can dynamically blacklist offensive smtp senders, but only have shorewall reject certain types (smtp) traffic from them? Thanks, Alex Martin http://www.rettc.com

Hello, I get the following error when I kill icecast. I am running icecast2 from source on a debian unstable box. I have looked around google and tried a couple of suggestions like moving and linking the libgcc library around, without any luck. "libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work?" Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Alex Martin shorewall@rettc.com

Hello all, I''ve read the shorewall guides and browsed through the mailing lists, but I haven''t been able to find out if the following is possible or not using shorewall. Our provider has given us 16 IPs + 4 in a separate range for our uplink. I would like to replace that router with a Linux box running shorewall with three interfaces. I want the DMZ to be a standard, routed

Hello, I have forwarded this to the shorewall-users list. You will find better support for this obscure problem there.

Hello, I have been maintaining, well watching, no real maintenance yet, the shorewall wiki (http://wiki.rettc.com/wiki.phtml?title=Wiki_Shorewall_FAQ) and though its evolution is slow, there is definitely evolution. Maybe it will become useful yet. I looked at this recent post: http://wiki.rettc.com/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:Port_Forwarding Here someone has requested help for Kazaa. I am sure this

Hello, I''m looking for a low-bloat distro that will have support for multiple service providers (DSL & Cable) FreeSWAN VPN, and other kernel patches applied. Something fairly quick and simple. I was origonaly thinking Slackware or Debian. I''d prefer something that is easily updatable (i.e. cron job) without having to deal with source. Thanks Guys. Rich.

Hello all, this is the first time I'm using R and e1071 package and SVM multiclass (and I'm not a statistician)! I'm very confused, then. The goal is: I have a sentence with sunny; it will be classified as "yes" sentence; I have a sentence with cloud, it will be classified as "maybe"; I have a sentence with rainy il will be classified as "no". The

I have a shorewall 2.0.14 running on a single interface machine (nwww in the log below) that is attempting to be well screwed down. The policy file reads:- #SOURCE DEST POLICY LOG LEVEL LIMIT:BURST fw net DROP info net all DROP info # The FOLLOWING POLICY MUST BE LAST all all

Good post Alex, I agree that all the talk of Wiki and FAQ''s are getting off topic from what the main problem is... Tom dealing with questions already answered in the faq. The documentation there is already very good. I also think that shorewall-newbies is probably not the best way to go. The idea of shorewall-developers (Tom and those that want to be included) and Shorewall-Users (NOT Tom

Tom, Can you/someone get a news feed setup for shorewall announcements? If not, I''ll have to make use of the shorewall rss feeds at SF. Project RSS Feeds: shorewall http://sourceforge.net/export/rss2_project.php?group_id=22587 BTW, planetplanet.org has links to some cool feeds. -- Mike Noyes <mhnoyes at users.sourceforge.net> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ SF.net

I have upgraded to trustix 2.1 (kernel 2.4.25-2trfirewall), there is a problem with shorewall (both 1.4.10d and 2.0) and iptables 1.2.9-2tr when I start shorewall I have the following errror: iptables v.1.2.9: Unknown arg ''--icmp-type'' Try ''iptables -h'' or ''iptables --help'' for more information with trustix 2.0 (kernel 2.4.25-2trfirewall)

Hi, If anyone is looking for a small Asterisk installation I have managed to get it down to 296MB (If you remove the kernel source code.. could probably be made smaller if some of the devel packages and asterisk source is removed as well.) To do it I used Trustix Secure Linux 2.0 (http://www.trustix.net), did a minimum install with ssh support(92MB) and then added the required packages
