You need to decide which ports you want to leave open. e.g., ssh, ftp, http, whatever... DMZ leaves your system completely open, so you should try to only open those ports you need. HLDS needs UDP and 27015 and 27020 open, assuming you're going to run the game on 27015.
Lokkit is easy to use, just su to root then /sbin/lokkit The apf config file is fairly well commented. Skip down to IG_TCP_CPORTS and add the TCP ports you want open to the end of the list, and then add the UDP ports to the end of IG_UDP_CPORTS. It might end up looking like this: IG_TCP_CPORTS="22,21,25,80,110,143,443,3306,27015" IG_UDP_CPORTS="53,27015_27020" Then restart apf: /etc/rc.d/init.d/apf restart >> /dev/null 2>&1 Good luck, Anders On Mon, 2005-05-02 at 11:17 -0400, Ben Haase wrote: > OK, will those files tell me how to edit them once i open them? as i said > before im new to linux and dont kno what those file are for or how i am to > edit them?
