Subject: ipchains...
Date: Sat, 04 Sep 1999 22:14:01 +0800
Can anyone tell me what tcp, ucp and syn are? How should I configure
ipchains so that no clients on my private network can access the server
via telnet? (Say, my server has address 192.168.1.1, and my clients
have address 192.168.1.X...) What should I put into ipchains if I want
a particular (say the one with IP 192.168.1.Y) client to have access via
telnet?

Hi there,
I'm after information about the ports (tcp/udp) defined in RFC870 :
"Assigned Numbers". The descriptions of th eservices used by each port
are rather limited. The description of these in /etc/services (on
Linux RedHat5.2) is no better.
Where can I go for elaboration on these?
Regards, Stu.

Yeah, I haven't done much with sockets yet myself. From what I've
seen of them and named pipes most people tend to use non-blocking
mode and peek for data before trying to get it(at least on the pipes
anyway) as it's more sane than dealing with unexpected behavior like
you describe. Interesting anyway. Thanks for posting the resolution.

My experience has been the first step in trouble-shooting is
isolation, so if nothing in the network is going to sleep then
look elsewhere, hence if pinging doesn't keep the connection
alive, it's probably not the locus of the problem. I guess I thought
that would be implied.

The /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files are used by tcpd, the TCP
wrapper daemon. Here's where it and ipchains fit into things:
Ethernet -> driver -> ipchains -> inetd -> tcpd -> server daemon
This leaves various things out. Most importantly, not all services go
through either inetd or tcpd. Also, this applies to LOCAL service; if a
packet is destined for another computer, it doesn't go through inetd or
tcpd. The "server daemon" is the daemon for whatever server you want to
use, like ftp, telnet, etc. Technically, ipchains doesn't process the
packets themselves; it just sets up rules that the kernel follows.
Each of ipchains, inetd, and tcpd can block a service request. If it's
blocked at ipchains, tcpd won't even see it.

"Best" is a relative term, and depends on what's important to you. For
easiest and most flexible access, don't use ipchains or TCP wrappers at
all (except to set up masquerading, if you need it). That's also the
best from a would-be cracker's point of view, of course. For the most
secure system possible, don't connect it to the net at all. For
something in-between, you can set up a load of ipchains rules to block
assorted types of packets and do the same with inetd (or, better, xinetd)
and TCP wrappers. Each of these has subtle advantages and
disadvantages. Since you refer to a firewall, I assume that you want to
access OTHER computers. If so, ipchains is the only tool of the three
that will do you any good on the firewall machine, though you can use
inetd and/or TCP wrappers on the computers on the internal network (if
they're UNIX/Linux computers).

Can you please explain this a little further? Like list the section of the

Again, thanks for the response.
One of the other response I received has to do with disabling APM in the BIOS.

Don't know for sure but it sounds like some sort of resource or memory
leak. Does you swap file keep growing for no apparent reason?

ipchains is kernel level, hosts_access is application level, thus the
perms are ANDed. A connection must be both allowed in hosts.* and with
ipchains. Remember that not all applications support hosts_access, and
and that connections disallowed with hosts_access will be established, but
the connection will be reset and no data will travel over it.

You might try going to the D-LINK web site and sending an email.
I got prompt response from the support folks there. Alternatively
if the issue is just using a Dos configuration utility and you don't
have Dos there are GNU Dos-alike systems on the web you can
download(I think they're equiv. to Dos 3.1 or thereabouts but I
haven't checked them out in a while.) You can make a disk image
and boot to it. If it's an ISA card you might try isapnptools.
Good luck.

So I assume each machine can ping themselves?
What makes you so certain the hw works? Have
you used it previously? I just spent 2 weeks fighting
a network card that would work for 1/2 hr, 45 min,
whatever. Come to find out it must have a bad
component that went out when it heated up. Put
in new card and everything works like a charm.
Also have you done anything on loopback? Can you
get the name of your own machine etc?

I had to tinker with my dhcpd daemon that is executed on boot. This is

Find the line which starts dhcpd and add the proper interface (eth1)

I guess there is a router somewhere in the way from the client to the
server that blocks connections on the specific port you are using.
It is quite common that only certain port ranges are blocked in a
firewall setup.
To find out which machine is blocking, use the traceroute
utility on the client to list all stations that the packets
pass on the way to the server.
Then try a
telnet ip-address port
for the ip-address of each station listed (starting with the first) and
the port you are trying to connect to.
If you get a connect or a message "Connection refused" that's okay.
But when you get a message "No route to host" then it is most likely
that
the packet is blocked one station before the one you get this message
with.
Hope this helps,
Andreas
I suggest that you use the traceroute utility on the
client to see

You have to make sure you installed the pop3 rpm, and edit the
/etc/inetd.conf and remove the comment # sign.
once you have done that, reboot or KILL -HUP the pid of inetd
and that should allow popper to run.
You may want to paiste a portion of your /var/log/messages file to
have more specific error reporting.

Subject: ipchains & ftp
Date: Sat, 04 Sep 1999 16:27:08 GMT
I'm new to Linux.
I've installed Mandrake 6.0 on a pentium pc at home that is serving as a
gateway to connect to the internet.One of my friend's friend, came over one
night and configure the firewall and ip-maskerading.
Everything works fine except for 2 things. The first one is when we're using
Norton Anti-Virus live-update function, it not going through the firewall.
And the second thing is ftp is only working to go out,
I can't download anything.
Can anyone help me? Please?
Newbie.

Subject: NIC probs
Date: Sat, 04 Sep 1999 12:16:35 -0400
I've been trying to install my ne2000 nic in caldera2.2. I try loading
the ne module and it says that i need to also load 8390 as well. When it
tries to load 8390 for me, it then tells me "The kernel driver 8390 has
niether been installed as a loadable module on this sytem, nor has it
been compiled into the kernel." I have tried to recompile w/ 8390
included but can't find where it is in the config. When loading ne I
have let it attempt to autoprobe in addition to specifying which IRQ and
IO port it's at. Someone told me to use modprobe ne which gave me the
following message: /lib/modules/2.2.5/net/ne.o:init_module Device or
resource busy. Please, if you know anything that could help, please. I'm
getting desparate, i need this box up by midweek otherwise bad things
will happen to me :o(.
Thanks in advance.
Mike
