Have you > enccountered any problems with that? I'd be glad to find out. Actually I have never tried running a local service on the same port that I am forwarding to another machine. I suppose the main reason is that it could easily lead to confusion, if someone expects to be able to access a service on one box, and ends up on the other. I suppose the masq code could be structured so that it "grabs" the packets before they ever reach the local service. So you could forward telnet packets around a masq box, even if it has a local telnet service, because masq predictably grabs them before the local inetd process even sees them. Strange, but I suppose it could be useful. :) > You definitely should be using ipmasqadm along with ipchains. I > cannot believe you are even mentioning "redir". It's such an old > story. Get over it! I have been pushing for ipmasqadm/portfw as well. ;) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Fuzzy Fox) || "Nothing takes the taste out of peanut sometimes known as David DeSimone || butter quite like unrequited love." http://www.dallas.net/~fox/ || -- Charlie Brown _______________________________________________ Masq maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Admin requests can be handled at http://www.indyramp.com/masq-list/ or email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLEASE read the HOWTO and search the archives before posting.
