[expert] Bastille firewall setup
Hello, With LM8.1 I am trying to shore up my machine using Bastille - I don't need anything complex. Setup went fine, but now I'm tring to understand what it has done. iptables -L says: Chain INPUT (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination DROP tcp -- anywhere 127.0.0.0/8 ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere DROP all -- BASE-ADDRESS.MCAST.NET/4 anywhere PUB_IN all -- anywhere anywhere PUB_IN all -- anywhere anywhere PUB_IN all -- anywhere anywhere ...snip the rest which seems fine. Rule 3 4 in the input chain confuse me. Rule 3 looks like it will accept anything what so ever, so none of the following rules will be used. Have I misunderstood? Rule 4 looks okay, I'm just not sure what its there for. Also since Bastille is run at boot, do connections brought up later get protected or do I need to re-run something? Thanks for any help, Nick.

Darren Well Darren, as usual, there is more than one answer to your query but only one *safe* answer, and that is yes. If you are really concerned about security, you would want to keep all machines on your private LAN. This would mean having your Linux box acting as a router/gateway/firewall for your internel network. The easiest method is to install two nics in the Linux router, one for the externel network (internet) and one binded to the internel network (LAN). There is an abundance of documentation for this type of setup on the web. Just hit the search engines, and you will be off and flying in no time at all Have fun, -- J.

Re: [expert] setting up home network
I have this kind of setup with only one nic in each machine. But I have a static connection to the internet. Maybe with DHCP you want one card for the local lan and another for the DHCP. In any event, here is my setup, including WIN XP. I have a multiport switch which is connected to the cable modem. All other machines including the one on the internet are connected to the switch.I use Bastille-linux as the firewall on the machine with an internet address (in my case it is static, but DHCP should work in the same way with the appropriate line in /etc/Bastille/bastille-firewall.cfg uncommented). Here is how my setup works. Suppose my /etc/hosts file on all linux machines looks like 127.0.0.1 localhost 122.133.144.155 ip-host 10.0.0.2 host2 10.0.0.3 host3 10.0.0.4 win-host The corresponding file in Win XP is C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\etc\hosts (Just search on hosts) Here I have ip-host is the machine on the internet, host2, host3, are other linux machines, and win-host is the XP machine. All are connected with cat 5 cable to the ethernet switch which is connected to the cable modem. I set up all local machines to use ip-host as the default gateway. Also, I have a simple cache DNS on ip-host (this may not be necessary, but is left over from when I did not use a firewall). Probably, the DHCP connection will automatically provide DNS to all machines--I don't know. Then, on host2, host3, in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, I add the command: /sbin/route add -host 122.133.144.155 dev eth0 /sbin/route add -host 10.0.0.2 dev eth0 /sbin/route add -host 10.0.0.3 dev eth0 /sbin/route add -host 10.0.0.4 dev eth0 Now, all machines can use ssh, netscape, etc to the internet. Suppose your WIN XP machine is win-host Go into the Network Places part of Control-panel and set the IP address to be 10.0.0.4 Set the gateway to be ip-host (or its number). Test the setup by going to the Command Prompt and typing ping ip-host I this gives you back some repeated lines ending with TTL=255 you are in business. Then, e.g. try ping www.nytimes.com and you'll see what I mean. My first guess for 2 nics and DHCP would be to have ip-host as 10.0.0.1 and repeat the above setup.

[expert] USB mouse - only verticaal cursor movement
When I plugged the PowerScroll USB mouse into my box a driver was loaded saying that a mouse was found. I didn't find any complaints in the log. After some searching I linked /dev/usbmouse to /dev/mouse. After some more searching I concluded I do not know whot protocol should I use for my mouse so I runned mousedrake (or how that thing is called ) and selected USB Wheel mouse in menu. When my gpm was restarted by mousedrake it became unusable. When I restarted X I was only able to move the cursor up and down, not left/right, no clicks. When I tried USB generic mouse I got the same. I could possibly try to select some protocol manually and possibly exchange my kernel. But is there anybody who already solved this? I'm using Mandrake 8.1, no updates (no net). In win2k the mouse worked flawlessly w/o any special drivers. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] devfs 2.4.18 trouble
As another noted, devfs is broken. You could rebuild the kernel with devfs set off OR you could blow off the rebuild and simply add the append = devfs=nomount statement to your lilo file for each kernel version and your devfs problems will go away. Kind of funny. I have no real problems with devfs with the 2.4.8 kernel but when I'ved tried any of the teens (2.4.13 on up to .18) devfs has been totally wrecked. It appears to be somewhat of a pain to get usb working without devfs too, so that is more fun to toss into the mix. praedor On Friday 08 March 2002 12:53 pm, Ronny L Nilsson wrote: Hi Has anyone tried upgrading a standard mandrake 8.1 to kernel 2.4.18 and gotten it to work properly?

Re: [expert] Netscape Crash
hmm, that doesn't sound too good. if you say that the only thing you need is to display HTML and js, then try a very irrational thing: switch off java support (not javascript). I know of cases where the presence of the java-virtual machine alone made netscape crash over and over though java was really invoked. another thing you could try was to call netscape the direct way. normally, if you say netscape, then a shell-script is invoked (/usr/bin/netscape; check it). this calls for netscape-communicator in /usr/lib/netscape. if you call the binary directly, you will lose some comfort (IMHO less important) settings, but the essential communicator still works. hope, this helps ... udo Am Mon, 2002-03-11 um 13.17 schrieb Hari Yellina: HI Udo, I am not using Java Applets.

I am just wondering , why u guys are using mandrake over other linux flavour . Can u guys tell me the advantages, I started by installing RedHat 5.1 and the concurrent versions of Debian, Slackware and SuSE. I was most successful with Red Hat, but as I gained experience with it, I wound up having a number of patches and fixes and tweaks that I applied to it. Mandrake 5.2 solved most of these problems for me, espcially since I like KDE and Red Hat selected GNOME for their default desktop. Since then, I have enjoyed the feature set of Mandrake, including its ability to autodetect my hardware and set a number of features up automagically. There are, of course, still tweaks and fixes to apply. Recently, while writing three chapters for the current Red Hat Linux 7.2 Unleashed, I had the opportunity to revisit Red Hat and frankly did not care for what I experienced. Mandrake offers a much more polished desktop user experience. I also gained a renewed appreciation for the Mandrake suite of configuration tools. For now, Mandrake continues to be a good choice because they continue to focus on the user interface and the automation of tasks with as much fervor as they focus on including the latest and greatest; the best of both worlds. If I had to give up Mandrake, though, it would probably be for SUSE. -- Hoyt http://www.maximumhoyt.com There are no dumb questions; only dumb bosses.

[expert] KDE kamera module supported in kde2.2.2?
Hi all, I've read and I see that KDE's Configuration Panel offers a way to choose among digital cameras. I can choose the model I borrowed from work which is a Canon Powershot Pro70. Pushing the Test button does nothing. Opening Konqueror and begining the URL with kamera: or gphoto: just pops up a msg. saying 'Protocol not supported'. How do you get this thing to work, or has mandrake not build this thing in when compiling? I can use the camera with gtkam and the gphoto2 lib though, so I now the camera connection works. The connection is serial and at 56K so very slow. Often gtkam acts deadslow too. Thanks for your input. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[expert] Wanna beta test HoneyPort? (inspired by LaBrea TarPit)

If so, I'm looking for a beta tester (or two or three :^) of my very simple HoneyPort which is a sticky port for those scumbags... :^) Pierre Tired of getting spam retries after setting up anti-spam features? Got a spammer with a broken mailer who tries every 30 SECONDS to deliver the spam? Put in an IPTABLES filter, only to find the spammer won't go away; just keeps on wasting your bandwidth? YUP!! I experienced all the above... :^P So... I came up with the idea to create a HoneyPort... Inspired by Tom Liston's LaBrea TarPit; but only on the local host, and only for specific attackers. The idea is to shunt tiresome spammers/attackers and other network ne'er-do-wells to a HoneyPot Port (hence HoneyPort). Not looking to protect a subnet as Tom's LaBrea TarPit does; rather, slow down these jerks in a similar manner on the attacked host. For example, on March 7 8, 2002, a RedHat Linux box at 207.191.79.6 began an *incessant* attempt to deliver spam... Normally this would not be a problem; but this idiot box retried EVERY 30 SECONDS!! Even after add an iptables filter: iptables -A INPUT -s 207.191.79.6 -p tcp --dport 25 -j DROP this machine continued to try... I've had enough of this crap, so I thought about Tom Liston's LaBrea TarPit and wondered if the concept could be used to slow down this spammer too... see http://pfortin.com/Linux/HoneyPort/ for the code and setup... Not for the faint of heart... I still need to create a support script or two... besides, I made some changes and did not test them cuz it's late and I'm going to bed... :^) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
