Ken, I first setup webmin on the server - this listens on port 10000 by default (https).On 11/02/2009 09:36 AM Rob Kampen wrote:ken wrote:On 10/31/2009 04:10 AM Tony Molloy wrote:On Saturday 31 October 2009 07:48:05 hadi motamedi wrote:Dear All To open a port , I know that I need to go to "System -> Administration -> Security Level and Firewall" -> Other ports and then I can open port-5901 as tcp protocol . Can you please do me favor and let me know how it can be done from the command line (if my CentOS is text-mode installed) ? (perhaps via iptables?) Let me thank you in advanceEdit /etc/sysconfig/iptablesRestart iptables with service iptables restart TonyMy /etc/sysconfig/iptables states at the top that editing of it is not recommended. Yeah, I don't always follow such recommendations myself, but is there perhaps another way more in keeping with the sense of the application?Yeah, editing directly can be risky, nothing worse than making a change only to find that access to your server just disappeared and you need to get in front of it to reset via the console.... I use webmin for most of my edits, only make it accessible from the LAN and not the WAN. You can always tunnel the :10000 port via ssh and access securely from a remote location. The webmin console is left open while I test, thus I have not yet tripped up on this though I can imagine it is not fool proof. HTH RobRob, Sounds like you've thought through the process and have a well-planned strategy for failure-prevention. Cool. I checked my port 10000 (ssh -p 10000 ...) and found it not available ("Connection refused"). So in what sense, or how, can I always tunnel it? tnx. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Then from a remote location I can ssh servername -L 8081:localhost:10000This will capture local port 8081 and tunnel to the remote server port 10000.
Then with firefox I enter https://localhost:8081/ and I get the remote server's webmin. HTH Rob
