[newbie] XDMCP and Firewall
Hello, I just installed Mandrake 9.0 and setup my ADSL modem. I have two NIC's and setup internet sharing with respect to several machines behind my Linux box (Mandrake 9.0). The problem is when the firewall is on (With no services to the Outside) and the Security set to Standard, I cannot use Exceed (On my Windows box) to login to my Linux box (Mandrake 9.0). If I turn off the Firewall, then Exceed works fine. My question is: How can I have both Firewall on and the ability to use Exceed on the Windows box ? Thank you in advance for your help.

Best Regards, Chris Parman By default the shorewall firewall will block traffic from the Internet (net) to the firewall (fw), and also from the local network (masq) to the firewall. You could easily open up the specific port needed by Exceed (23), or else you can open up all services to the local network. To open all services to the local net edit the file /etc/shorewall/policy It is well documented and you will easily understand it. Add the line masqfw ACCEPT There should also be a fw masqACCEPT To selectively open individual ports edit /etc/shorewall/rules and add the lines, (or add the port name/number to an existing line) ACCEPT masqfw tcp ssh ACCEPT masqfw udp ssh If you want applications on the firewall to access services on the local net you will need corresponding lines for ACCEPT fw masq tcp and so on For detailed documentation on shorewall see www.shorewall.net After making any changes enter shorewall restart in a root terminal. After making edits to the shorewall files do not use the Mandrake GUI again. It will likely overwrite your changes. If you prefer using a GUI there is one in the webmin package for shorewall (to use webmin 'urpmi webmin' in a root terminal, then https:localhost:1 in a browser) HTH derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] XDMCP and Firewall
Thank you so much, Derek. Your suggestion worked wonderfully. Ideally, what I wanted to accomplish is to grant port access to the local LAN side and keep everything blocked on the Internet side. -Chris --- Derek Jennings [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Monday 02 Jun 2003 4:05 pm, Chris Parman wrote: Hello, I just installed Mandrake 9.0 and setup my ADSL modem.

TIA PC
