Yes. Install tcpwrappers and configure them to allow only access from
local addresses. You can also do this with iptables, but tcpwrappers is
probably less invasive.
You and Richard both assume TCP. I don't know what Marcy's talking
about, but it could be UDP.
You further assume tcpwrappers is a solution, and it might be, but
without knowing that software Marcy's talking about, you don't know that.
_I_ would use iptables, much as Richard says. The vendor-supplied
firewalls I've seen are rather simplistic (but adequate to solve Marcy's
stated problem), but for more serious use I use & recommend shorewall.
I was asked this question. I'm sure it is, but what do you gurus use
to
do this. This would be Sles 8 server.
