Hello, >How can I limit a certain ip to no access on REdhat 5.2 and Linuxconf >1.13r12. I tried check marking input rules then i added one deny statment >into the filtering but it locked everybody out. How do I limit this one >IP# instead of the whole internet. :) First, under "Network->Firewalling", check off "Firewalling defaults->Inputing Rules [X] are active" Note that this will disable any access to your server by default! Under "Blocking firewalling" setup an inputing rule that allows "all" protocols from "0.0.0.0" networks on "Any" interface To "eth0" Host on "Any" Interface. Don't forget to check the "[X] This rule is active" box and set "(o) Accept" as the Rule's policy. This will turn on all access to your server. Once this is done you can selectively deny access to protocols/ports by host/IP. Simply setup an inputing rule that rejects or denies "all" protocols from an IP specified under "Host or Network". I prefer to "deny" access as this will simply ignore any requests from a specified IP, rather than sending back a "rejected" response. Why tell malicious users that you are indeed in business but not accepting requests from them? That just makes them more determined. :) Hope this helps... Cheers...
