Dear All, I'm having a hard time configuring a firewall. I ALMOST understand it, but I've run into one problem. I think I don't actually have my /etc/rc.firewall set up properly. Maybe I don't really understand what the "ip" setting should be, and I've made it the same as my "net" setting. Anyway, what I can say is that with the configuration I have, I can access my internal (ethernet) network, but ppp is totally blocked, which of course I don't want.
Below are the configuration settings I've made, and the results I get. I hope that somebody can help. best regards, Robert Storey FROM /etc/rc.conf: firewall_enable="YES" firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall" firewall_type="client" FROM /etc/rc.firewall: # set these to your network and netmask and ip net="192.168.0.2" mask="255.255.255.0" ip="192.168.0.2" CONTENT OF /etc/hosts: # ::1 localhost localhost.utopia.com 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.utopia.com # 192.168.0.3 ibm.utopia.com ibm 192.168.0.2 sonic.utopia.com sonic 192.168.0.1 pro.utopia.com pro OUTPUT OF "ipfw -a list": 00100 0 0 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00200 0 0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 00300 0 0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any 00400 0 0 allow ip from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.0/24 00500 0 0 allow ip from 192.168.0.0/24 to 192.168.0.2 00600 0 0 allow tcp from any to any established 00700 0 0 allow ip from any to any frag 00800 0 0 allow tcp from any to 192.168.0.2 dst-port 25 setup 00900 0 0 allow tcp from 192.168.0.2 to any setup 01000 0 0 deny tcp from any to any setup 01100 0 0 allow udp from 192.168.0.2 to any dst-port 53 keep-state 01200 0 0 allow udp from 192.168.0.2 to any dst-port 123 keep-state 65535 0 0 deny ip from any to any _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
