Hi Debianists, I posted yesterday that I had a problem with KDE and iptables on my Woody box. I tried enabling everything on loopback, but that didn't solve it.
This happened: fwbuilder generated an Interface Rule for lo; this didn't work - tail ~messages showed that the TCP traffic from kdeinit was accepted, but something happened to stall kdeinit.... Anyway the solution proved to edit the /var/lib/iptables/active file, remove all instances of IPRULE_0_lo and add -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1 -i lo -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1 -o lo -j ACCEPT Now everything works fine. I'd like to thank all those who helped me hunt this down. -- Matthias Ellinger [EMAIL PROTECTED], PGP key at: http://www.bernardel.de Key fingerprint: 72CA 6861 3BE4 75E4 B556 283D 087A BEA7 19A5 b484 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
