Subject: Odd output from ipchains -L
Date: 16 Jul 1999 15:53:00 +0100
I'm trying to get to grips with ipchains and having a bit of trouble
with the output of ipchains -L. Consider the following snippet.
[root@xl5 /root]# cat bin/configfirewall
#!/bin/bash
/sbin/chains -F
/sbin/chains -A input -i sppp -p tcp -y -j DENY
/sbin/chains -A input -p tcp -y -j DENY
[root@xl5 /root]# configfirewall
[root@xl5 /root]# ipchains -L
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
target prot opt source destination ports
DENY tcp -y---- anywhere anywhere any -> any
DENY tcp -y---- anywhere anywhere any -> any
Chain forward (policy ACCEPT):
Chain output (policy ACCEPT):
[root@xl5 /root]#
Now, shouldn't those two rules show up differently in ipchains -L?
They behave differently - the latter one kills all incoming tcp
connections, whilst the former only kills those arriving down the
leased line, but there doesn't seem to be any way of telling them
apart in situ.
TIA,
John

Subject: Samba causing broadcast storms??
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 14:43:27 GMT
Hi all,
I am running COL 2.2 on a switched lan as a test box. The lan is used
by a large number of Netware and NT servers, with a few Unix boxes
thrown in as well. It was installed right out of the box, a typical
install, whatever that is. After about 2 weeks of no incidents, the
infrastructure team was getting reports of dropped connections,
inability to log in, etc. The term broadcast storm has been used a
lot, although I am not entirly sure that everyone involved understands
it meaning (not even sure that I do...) It was somehow traced back to
my box and another similar box on the lan, both running COL 2.2.
Is this typical behaviour for Samba? Or the linux box in general? I
never left samba running for very long, once it showed up in network
neighborhood in my 95 pcs, I shut if down until I could be sure of
exactly what it was doing. What puzzles me is the service was shut down
when these complaints came in; by shut down I mean running
samba stop
as root. Is Samba, or some component of it still running after this? I
see messages of it being loaded at boot, but it doesnt appear on the
lan until samba start is run. Again, all settings were at defaults,
using a static IP address that was specifically assigned for this text
box.
Any info helpful,
Tony

Okay, heres the situation, I have a network with a subnet of
255.255.255.192. I have the addresses, xxx.xxx.xxx.129 -
xxx.xxx.xxx.192. I was trying to setup a firewall between my
workstations/servers and the internet. Well... This is was I was
going to do. I was going to add a little 8 port hub for public
services and the ISP connection. Then I was going to use a linux box
to route between that hub and my pre-existing hub. However, I really
dont want to use a diffrent subnet, because then I would have to
change the ISP router and go therough the hassles of talking to the
ISP. Is there anyway to setup routing between the 8-port hub and my
existing hub without going through all the trouble of talking to the
ISP? Please e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry, but you are wrong.
Viruses spread by having their code executed by a client machine, which
then spreads the virus to other files to which the client has access.
Having an anti-virus scanner running on the client machine is the only
way to make sure the code is either not executed or unable to spread. A
virus can not spread if it is not executed. The file server does not
usually execute the files it is serving. This is why Linux can server
Windows machines. A virus infected executable can sit on a file server
and not infect other network files until it is run by a client machine
with write access to previously mentioned network files.
Making program files and document templates read-only on the NOS is very
good idea no matter how you look at it.
Lastly, you do not want a file server scanning for viruses on all files.
There is no way a file server can server perform its functions and scan
for viruses without being so slow that no one would use it.
Think of it this way: A virus scanner uses up 4% of CPU time while
running on an active client computer. Say the server system is 4 times
faster than the client system. It would take 100 active connections to
bottleneck the server in virus scanning alone. No, not a wise thing to
do. (Yes I know the calculations are very simplistic, however the load
is probably a much higher figure.)
As for other things you say:
"Inbound files from the internet" As in FTP, HTML, or Email? Sure
programs are going to get on to a client machine, but they will not be
executed by the firewall or file server. They will be executed by the
client machine, which has anti-virus software on it.
"Updates need to be done much more than every month or so!" Ok, what
ever, not a big deal. Update every day and have users reboot every
morning. There is client code for Windows which will allow you to do
this.

All you need to do is figure out what comm parameters the dumb
terminal is running at, and set up a getty on the apropriate serial
port running with those comm parameters. The way you set up the getty
is to edit your "/etc/inittab" file. Reading the documentation on
"inittab" will get you started.

Yes, neither could I. But I went through various settings on both the
server and the client side, and it was finally chalked up to be a DNS
issue. Which is strange because it was working fine, and then it
suddenly stopped.
However, whereas Fetchmail was working well to pick up mail before, I'm
having problems with it successfully trying to distribute the messages
with Sendmail once I have gotten them. It's rather frustrating. It
gives me a message in verbose mode saying 'root... Recipient names must
be specified' and it fails to distribute.
I've checked the settings many times against what was working
originally, and how they suggest to do it in the man page. No luck
though.
Ideas?

Well, if I understand your question correctly, a big if. :)
The solution is fairly easy, each of your users I presume are setup
and passworded and thus have a home dir set up. If so then they have
a .bashrc file in that directory. That file has all their individual
config info path shell etc info. Simply add any line in there that
you wish fro them. Want to mount a specific share then add the line
smbmount //,machine>/<share> -c 'mount /<mountpoint'
(make sure permissions are corrct on all this :)
or call a script file
Well you get the idea, this can be done for groups, individuals etc.

Shouldn't have to. Ping is a really basic operation. If the Ping isn't

I tried this on a second machine (with a different NIC). After I installed
the "New Boot Images" update and the "pump" update from
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh60-errata-general.html, TCP/IP
networking came right up. I suspect the problem on the first machine is
related to the NIC driver.

If you look at the networking startup script (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network),
you'll find that it turns on/off ip_forward according to a variable set in
/etc/sysconfig/network. So, change
FORWARD_IPV4=no

The likely reason it got turned off again is that you restarted your network.

Well, first you have said in the first instance that you get error
'bad password' well thats fairly simple, usually means that you are
logging into WinX with a username and password that is not IDENTICAL
to any user/password that is set up on the linux box. Also it could
be that you are sending encrypted passwords, but have failed to set up
smbpassword. ( but since you said you followed those sites exactly,
that can't be the problem right?)
Now the second paragraph says you you can't find the linux box period.
Well that would indicate that you have set up Win
controlpanel/networks/tcp/ip(ethercard) without telling it the proper
IP for the linux box. ( again since you followed those sites
directions exactly, I doubt that si the prob.)

Subject: Firewall &Tunneling
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 16:38:55 GMT
I want to build a Linux firewall at home so I can share my DSL link with
my other computers. One problem I haven't figured out how to solve is the
Windows computers use an Alta Vista tunnel client to connect to the
company's private network. Normally, the host that connects to the internet
has to start the tunnel. Alta Vista hasn't made a Linux tunnel client
available. Do I build a proxy service for the tunnel on the firewall and
start the clients on the Windows machines? Can I run a Windows emulator on
Linux and start the tunnel up on that, still getting the benefit of the
network?
Please Advise,
Mike Boning

hmm, I am pretty shure you are wrong
redhat 6.0 uses the kernel level nfs-daemon (aka knfsd), which is
either a kernel module or compiled into the kernel.
Try less /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help and search for
NFS server support.

that's right, rh 5.x used the userspace nfs server.

That should not be necessary, just uninstall the package knfsd, which
only includes the support-programs like exportfs but no nfs-server at
all, use a kernel without nfs-*server* support, and use the old
nfsserver from rh 5.2 (the package is called something like
nfsserver-beta....rpm). Perhaps it'd a good thing to install the
source-package and compile it yourself.
