Subject: Firewall Please help!
Date: Wed, 02 Jun 1999 18:02:44 GMT
I am running Suse 5.3
I have two network cards in the server.
I can't seem to ping the address of first card if it is the same class
C address range as the second card.
Do the ip address ranges need to be different?
When I do make one of the addresses a different class C address I can
ping both cards.
I think they need to be the same. My customer has an entire class C
and I am setting up a linux firewall between the cicso router and the
internal network to only allow certain ip addresses in.
Please help.

Hi,
Root sure can telnet and login, but it isn't recommended for security reasons.
But if you still want to login as root then you 'll have to change the
/etc/securetty -file.
Just alter it to:
#/etc/securetty
console
tty1
tty2
tty3
tty4
tty5
tty6
tty7
tty8
ttyp0
ttyp1
ttyp2
ttyp3
ttyS0
ttyS1
ttyS2
ttyS3
# end /etc/securetty
HTH,

It is always the cables! I've replace dozens maybe more of brand new out
of the box cables from any number of manufacturers. Cables and their
connectors are always the first thing you checkout, replace, or rebuild.
The second thing is always have a good ground.
The third thing is MAN TCPDUMP.

I have Redhat 6.0 and am having the following problem:
If I boot my machine from home and can successfully log into it from work.
Then suddenly I cannot connect ( I am thinking its the line ), go home and
everything is okay. The only thing I can think of is that when pump requests
a new IP and gets a different one, networking goes south. I do not now if my
ISP is using NT or not. ( I was going to install the rpm update anyways )
Anyone else experince this? I also had 5.2 and appeared to behave the same..

I'm trying to use the MSERVER software to set up a linux box to act as a
dial-out modem server (the box is currently used as a dial-in server using
MGETTY). I've installed the MSERVER software and configured the
/etc/mserver.conf file correctly (as far as I can tell). Once I reboot the
box and try to 'telnet localhost 5800', I get:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
DEVICE INACCESSIBLE
Connection closed by foreign host.
Can anyone shed some light on this??

Subject: firewall transparent proxy using ipfwadm
Date: Wed, 02 Jun 1999 18:48:37 GMT
The ipfwadm program has the ability to redirect incoming traffic to a
socket on the firewall, even if the traffic is not for the firewall.
Redirection works fine. How do you determine what the original destination
was? Example; 3 machines - client (inside the firewall), firewall, and
distant.host. Client attempts to access a web page on distant.host,
firewall redirects the request to a socket on the firewall. How does the
program accept()'ing on that firewall socket determine that the request is
_to_ distant.host? I can get the client with a getpeername() call. But
what about the destination? I'm using RedHat 5, kernel 2.0.36. Thanks.

Reply-To: markj*no*spam*@gilanet.com
The context in which this question arises is that I am trying to debug a
diald setup. However, I believe the connection with diald is
coincidental. In case you are unfamiliar with diald, it is a program
that compares network packets to a set of rules, and sets up a ppp
connection to an outside network when necessary.
I notice that a packet is sent every 10 seconds or so. The debug message
I get is:
diald[730]: filter accepted rule 41 proto 88 len 60 packet
207.66.20.23,0 => 224.0.0.10,0
Rule 41 is "accept any 30 any".
207.66.20.23 is my ISPs router.
224.0.0.10 is IGRP-ROUTERS.MCAST.NET, which has something to do with
multicasts, I believe.
I have read that "proto X" indicates that the IP packet is of protocol
X. Most of the packets I see have X = 6 or 17. From file /etc/protocols
I see that these are TCP or UDP packets, resp.
However, I can't find any reference to protocol 88.

Reply-To: markj*no*spam*@gilanet.com
I had similar problems. If you read the diald and diald-examples man pages
carefully, you see that some of the pppd options should be "fed" to diald as
diald options, while others must follow the "pppd-options" keyword in
diald.conf, eg, "asyncmap", "passive" and "noipdefault". If I recall, still
other options must remain in the ppp-options file. Hope this helps. Here's my
diald.conf:
# begin diald configuration
#
include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter
#
# debug 31 # uncomment this line for detailed packet rule messages
# use "/usr/sbin/diald debug 31 -daemon" on command line for foreground
#
mode ppp # use pppd not slip
connect /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer # chat script
device /dev/ttyS1 # serial device
speed 115200 # port speed
modem # what's attached to ttyS1
lock # lock port while in use
dynamic # ISP assigns ppp addresses
local 192.168.0.101 # used as address of virtual ppp
remote 192.168.0.102 # dynamic causes this to be ignored
netmask 255.255.255.0 # IP addresses' netmask

Add the line

or
impulse 3600,0
to either
/etc/diald/diald.conf
or
/usr/lib/diald/standard.filter
If the latter, make sure it is properly include-d in diald.conf.

I have ipmasq running already and ipchains I think too now how do I
get them to kick in the modem. The IP Chains HOW-TO-DO or IP-Masq I

You are going to need 3 things...
1) software to make files on the Linux system available to the Win98 systems
Look into - Samba for "Microsoft Networks" (SMB) support, or
- Mars NWE for "Netware Bindary" support, or
- NFS for Sun Network File System support.
Win98 comes with the client for "Microsoft Networks" and Netware, so no
additional software will be required, but if you choose to use NFS, you'll
have to acquire and install a (likely commercial) NFS client on each Win98
system.
2) TCP/IP enabled on each of the Win98 systems, and
3) A suitable file system driver installed on Linux (i.e. VFAT, DOS, etc.)
Since you are using a ZIP drive, you'll probably be exchanging disks with
other systems, and these disks are likely to be formatted for MSDOS/Windows,
rather than Linux. If so, then your Linux system will need file-system support
for MSDOS/Windows file systems enabled.

Look in the IP Masquerading HOWTO for the FTP support modules. There are
modules that need to be installed in order to permit FTP (and some other
protocols) to pass through the firewall.

easyiest way to do this would be to change the access rights for the
telnet binary (remove execute rights for all execpt user{root}). but
users can download their own binary, and then same problem again...
hope it helps

Insert this line in /etc/ppp/ip-up
ifconfig|mail -s your_ip name@host
(sendmail must be running)
You can use awk to cut the raw ip.

basicly i should be possible to use the key-bindings in xterm. I have
the same problem but the solutions i got didnt work for me (didnt understand
