I don't use evolution, but if it displays HTML messages, those could be
requests to retrieve some objects embedded in some messages (images for
example).

Just a thought.

request to german speaking users

2003-06-27 Thread Alexander Schmehl

Good morning,

I just finished the translation of the security howto to german, but
some parts are very ugly hacked.

It would be very nice, if some of you would review my translation (or
at least small parts of it), and send me some patches.

You can find the latest version of it at
http://www.cs.uni-frankfurt.de/~schmehl/securing-debian/ in all usual
formats (and of course the sgml-source, too).


Greetings,
  Alexander


PS: Yes, the translation is outdated. It me quite some time. I'll try
to update her asap, but if you like, you can send me an updating patch,
too.

Martynas,

I almost forgot that some of that traffic is likely your Summary page
going out and getting updates.  For example 205.156.51 is owned by
NOAA.  My previous mail still holds for some of the traffic but the
summary page updates are also part of it. 

205.156.51.200 is a National Weather Service page
206.14.209.40 is Salon.com
63.236.73.20 is Linux Today

I would guess, just off the top of my head, that it's trying to load
images for HTML mail that you've received. All the connections are going
to port 80 on the remote machines.

Check Tools-Mail Settings and look under the Display tab. Set Never
load images off the net and see if the connections are still there.

Evolution also uses HTTP to get the RDF data feeds for the summary page.

Firewall with iptables and forwarding

2003-06-27 Thread Linux
Hi

Have anybody a good recommendation for an easy to use firewall with port 
forwarding ?

I got a home network with a dedicated (Debian of course) firewall box with 
ADSL connected, and ipmasq package installed.

My problem is that I don't know HOW I should put in the various rules in 
ipmasq = Which makes me look for something simpler or some examples or tips.

What I want to do is open up for incoming mail and http to be able to access 
my mailserver and internal webserver from internet, but not necessarily on 
the standard ports but some other ones.

Any suggestions or recommendations ?

iptables and X (KDE)

2003-06-27 Thread Matteo Vescovi
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,
I already posted this message to the list but murphy decided it wasn't 
written well enough (just to say it never arrived!).
I'm quite a newbie about firewalling. So, please, be patient.
I attached my iptables rules and I wonder if someone could help me 
understanding why it doesn't allow me start X (KDE, in my case).
I suppose because of its very restrictive policies (DROP almost everything!).
Are PREROUTING and POSTROUTING involved? I thought they should only be 
interested in masqueraded traffic arriving and leaving from a specific 
interface (such as eth0 or ppp0), not in letting me start KDE!
Does xfs need to be allowed to connect to its port (7100)?
I've tried for days and days without any rilevant result.
I'm using woody on a laptop, but I'm thinking about preparing a woody box to 
be used as a router/firewall on my little LAN and I'd like to be ready to do 
this without this kind of problems!
Really thanks in advance.
Take care.

Matteo

Hi Martynas,

These are connections to port 80, meaning a web server.  Do you get a
lot of spam?  Do you get a lot of newsletters or other e-mails with
images?  Many spam and newsletter mailings contain images, both visible
and invisible (small one pixel images used to track and/or verify if an
e-mail has been viewed).  You likely have Evolution set to display
images so it's going out and trying to download all the images in the
e-mails.  A better option is to turn that off by default and enable it
for individual images.  That's what I do.  On the menu bar go to
ToolsSettings and go to Mail PreferencesHTML Mail.  Select either
Never load images off the net which is my preference, or Load images
if sender is in addressbook so that you can receive HTML images from
those you choose.  I'm sure you'll see a sudden dropoff in connections
as well as not automatically letting spammers know you're alive.

Hope this helps,

Kourosh
