Hi:
I tried this after Shorewall gave me some issues. I guess I'm going to
ask a newbie question, but so be it.
After installation I'm given the following error;
# firehol start
# Stopping: /etc/default/firehol forbids it.
Now I followed along with a firehol config tutorial at;
<http://firehol.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html?>
and when I list my network interfaces I'm presented with the following;
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fastqlen 1000
link/ether 00:80:c6:f0:53:c6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0
So am I correct in assuming that sit0 is my Internet side, and eth0 is
my Home/Lan ? I searched Google for 'sit0' and it appears to be a ipv6
thing -- is that assuption correct ?
I have my server in a DMZ through a broadband router/switch. So I assume
that eth0 would be my home side. Correct ?
Thanks.
