Greetings, I have been assigned the care of a small Ubuntu network. All the Linux machines are running Ubuntu Server - the Edgy Eft version, and hide behind an IPCop. Problem is that a newly installed machine allows access from all others, but no services from the outside world.
Yes I have set /etc/hosts.allow on the server box to allow access to all services and set external access and port forwarding in the IPCop. While IPTABLES is installed, when it's run with the -L option flag there are no rules listed. ( only the column headings ) So the Q is this: Does Ubuntu have a secret "No outside access" setting somewhere? If so, I'd be very grateful to be directed to some doco about it. MTIA. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
