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.
Sorry I can't make sense of that. "allows access from all others"
doesn't seem to reconcile with "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.
Which services are you talking about? ssh? sendmail? imap? pop? ftp?
rsync? http? Have you looked at the services' respective config files?
