Hi gang,
I have a fedora machine running a few services
httpd, ftpd, sshd rsync dns
When I connected to Bigpond cable, I could not access the machine.
Access was denied for all the above services.
So, I disabled the firewall using system-config-securitylevel-tui as
I have only ssh access to the remote machine.
This fixed the problem and I (and others) can access the machine. The problem
now is that I have a machine running without the firewall. How can I customize
this with ssh?
Install shorewall (www.shorewall.net). Shorewall is an integrated
wrapper to iptable that
facilitates ease of configuration and maintainance of ip filters.
To install, ssh to the machine and do,
# yum -y install shorewall
Then read the howto install and configure manual from www.shorewall.net.
Hope this helps.
