hello all i've been trying for days to get this firewall script to work, and it simply refuses. the problem here though is that i'm really only following along in a complicated book trying to set up a super-fascist firewall.
now if i set the default policies to ACCEPT all works fine (duh) and if i set all the defaults to drop accept for the OUTPUT chains (nat, mangle and filter) it works. but if everything is set to DROP nothing works. but from what i understand, a good, super-fascist firewall has all policies set to DROP so can someone steer my in the right direction? what's worse is that i can't even diagnose the problem because nothing is being logged... dispite the fact that i've installed sysklogd and have specified LOG rules in the rc.firewall file. i'm totally lost here someone care to help? i've attached the script that's not working along with a few rules that i've commented out due to errors i can't fix (logging might help but...) thanks for any help/input etc.
