Re: Yet another Insecure Port ...

2001-04-05 Thread Jason Hollinden

The ports that worked best for me were:

 --with-portrange=2064,2320
 --with-udpportrange=830,870

Also, some other firewall wierdness I've had (with RedHat6.2's ipchains)
was once in a while a fragmented packet is sent, for whatever reason.
My amanda client's firewall log would show 3 denied packets from the
tape server, with source and destination ports of 65535.

To get around this, you need a rule that allows fragmented packets, such
as this:

 -A input -s server_ip/32 -d client_ip/32 -f -j ACCEPT

Re: Yet another Insecure Port ...

2001-04-05 Thread Greg Copeland

 From a security perspective, you normally don't want to allow packet 
fragments.  In most cases, turning off packet fragmentation is generally 
what you want.  Why?  Well, because some rules can not be properly 
applied to packet fragments which may create potential security concerns.
