/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! */ I thought I understood this ipchains stuff, but I guess I was wrong. I have a basic local network with a gateway machine thats running Red Hat 6.0. I use PPP to connect to my ISP. I have a really old X-Terminal that I have that works with bootp. This terminal boots fine.... UNTIL I fire up PPP that starts my firewall script that runs all my ipchain commands. It seems that my rules are denying the bootp broadcasts from my local net. This is the syslog message: May 22 18:49:57 littled kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=17 0.0.0.0:0 255.255.255.255:67 L=576 S=0x00 I=0 F=0x0000 T=60 (#32) I have tried a heap of rules including the one below to allow this to be accepted but nothing seemed to work. Any ideas. ipchains -A input -i eth0 -p udp -s 0/0 67 -d 0/0 68 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A input -i eth0 -p udp -s $INTERNALNET -d 255.255.255.255/24 67 -j ACCEPT -- Daryl Sayers Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Masq maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Admin requests can be handled at http://www.indyramp.com/masq-list/ -- THIS INCLUDES UNSUBSCRIBING! or email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLEASE read the HOWTO and search the archives before posting.
