I have been having loads of trouble getting up and running consistently with the dachstein CD. I have been practicing making configurations on one machine in order to hone my knowledge of setting up different types of firewalls. However, sometimes I just can't get ip masquerading to work in the simplest configuration. I must be missing some tiny switch sometimes when I set up the box. Basically I want to allow all machines behind the firewall to be able to browse,email,ssh,etc. My hosts.allow is wide open "ALL: 192.168.212.0/255.255.255.0", and my hosts.deny has only "ALL: PARANOID" and "ALL:ALL". I can ping internally and externally from the firewall, just can't masq anything.
Also, I've noticed that the weblet page showing installed modules shows ip_masq_portfw and ip_masq_autofw and unused. Are these modules necessary only if I forward ports to a private ip, or are they necessary for masquerading? Or does (unused) mean something else? Installed Modules: ip_masq_vdolive 1180 0 (unused) ip_masq_user 3708 0 (unused) ip_masq_raudio 2980 0 (unused) ip_masq_quake 1220 0 (unused) ip_masq_portfw 2416 0 (unused) ip_masq_mfw 3196 0 ip_masq_irc 1924 0 (unused) ip_masq_ftp 3576 0 (unused) ip_masq_cuseeme 964 0 (unused) ip_masq_autofw 2476 0 (unused) tulip 32412 2 pci-scan 2288 0 [tulip] isofs 17692 0 ide-cd 22672 0 cdrom 26712 0 [ide-cd] -Scott _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
