Re: Bastille firewall [was: Re: [newbie] No connection via Linux]

2003-07-09 Thread Lanman
For those needing a work-around for bastille-firewall, I just wanted to update you. 
Based on the current dependancies regarding Mandrake-Linux 9.0 and 9.1, it is not 
possible to install or run tinyfirewall. If it can't be run, you will be unable to 
acquire the bastille-firewall.cfg file required to set your firewall rules. I am 
currently applying a new set of comments to the default config file you require, but 
it's taking longer to do than I expected.

For those of you that already have bastille installed on another system, and want to 
apply it to a Mandrake 9.0 or 9.1 installed system, the switch is easy. I've included 
the basic steps below. Later today, I'll post a message to the list with my completed 
config file, which anyone can have by emailing me off-list. it will include decent 
explanations and examples for each required entry in the file.

Here's the steps;

1) Stop any instances of iptables with the following command service iptables stop 
and hitting the enter key,
2) Clear any residual rules left in ram  with the following command iptables -F ,  
confirm that all rules have been
reset to the default Accept policy by typing iptables -L
3) Permanently stop the iptables service in Mandrake Control Center.
4) Create a folder in /etc called Bastille with a capital B, and copy your 
previous bastille-firewall.cfg file into it.]
5) Copy the bastille-netfilter command from your mandrake 8.2 system (located in the 
/sbin folder) to the /sbin folder on your Mandrake 9.0 or 9.1
system.
6) Check the bastille-firewall.cfg file you copied from the older mandrake system to 
make sure that it applies to this machine,
7) Open a command shell or terminal, and type the following the command 
bastille-netfilter restart
8) Enjoy!

Re: Bastille firewall [was: Re: [newbie] No connection via Linux]

2003-07-09 Thread Lanman
Dear Femme; ( By the way, I love the handle!), wouldv'e gotten here sooner, but I was 
having too much fun screwing with Joe's brain. For the record, I don't use Bastille as 
a
hardening tool,  just as a firewall. One thing though, it apparently has an Undo 
option or command. But for most home networks it's a lot easier to set up than 
Shorewall. If you compare the GUI in MCC for shorewall with the wizard that Tiny 
Firewall used to have, I find Shorewall to be too vague. I realise that users like it 
simple, but Shorewall is too simple! And the brave ones who try to config it using 
webmin need a PH.D. to figure it out. Ever see a HowTo written for a newbie? With 
plain-language and easy examples included? Not too often, I'll bet!

Tiny Firewall was very easy, and editing the bastille-firewall.cfg file manually, was 
easier than doing a Samba share. Faster too. That's why I came up with my work-around. 
I still have Shorewall installed on my main server/gateway/firewall, but that sucker's 
having a long vacation. It started screwing up my ADSL connection. But one command in 
a console brought everything back to life with Bastille.

Something else, If you use MCC's Gateway/Internet Connection Sharing wizard it wants 
to load DHCP which I loathe. I don't like the idea of running services that I don't 
want in the first place, and it screws up my webmin access to many of my PC's. 
Bastille uses one line of text - one line! - to set up ICS, and doesn't require any 
other services to get the job done.

What's NOT to like?

Back to you Femme!

Jumping in here, sorry, but my guess would be that when the first downsizing 
at Mandrake took place, one of the people released was the guy doing the 
Bastille programming. It was his baby and maybe due to hard feelings or 
something the ML folks decided not to include it anymore. On the other hand 
they may have decided that it was not robust enough to continue. Just my $.02 
worth of over the backyard fence type gossip.

Re: Bastille firewall [was: Re: [newbie] No connection via Linux]

2003-07-09 Thread Lanman
Femme; Actually, after being an MCSE (Gak! Choke! Kaff!) for several years, it was one 
of the only useful things I took away from that experience. Lanman is something from 
Microsoft called the Microsoft Windows Lanman Remote API Protocol (lanman), and was 
also loosely called LAN Manager. Since I was one, the name made sense!

Not trying to sell you anything by the way.

Bastille gives you problems on Mandrake 9.0  9.1 because Mandrake dropped 
tinyfirewall from the drakxtools-newt package for 9.0 and higher. The end result was 
that you couldn't run tinyfirewall, and therefore you couldn't get the bastille config 
file. Without that file, bastille's firewall was dead in the water. But, if you have 
the config file, all you have to do is recreate the /etc/Bastille folder, grab the 
bastille-netfilter command from an older version of Mandrake, etc. (Please see 
previous post on this). The only other problem you run into, happens if iptables is 
running as a service. Once that's been deleted from the start on boot services list, 
you're all set.

So, what I'm working on is a decent config file built from the default config file, in 
the hopes that it will be easy enough to allow anyone to modify it for their needs, 
including shiny new newbie's who no longer have the tinyfirewall wizard to get them 
started.

Keep your fingers crossed! It's a work in progress.

Later C.P. !

AFAIK you have to uninstall Shorewall first  Then you can install

Re: Bastille firewall [was: Re: [newbie] No connection via Linux]

2003-07-08 Thread bpx
I tried the 2.1.1 rpm and it came up at start up saying it does not work on Mandrake
9.1.  I don't see a newer version on their site.

Femme; Is someone trying to use Bastille on a Mandrake 9.0 or 9.1 system? I
thought it woldn't work on those versions of Mandrake. Has there been a change?
I still prefer the firewall in Bastille, but I had to devise a work-around
in order to get it running a Mandrake 9.x . Please let me know if it works
now.

  Bastille is a better firewall IMO

Thank you. The description on the web looks very good. I downloaded and
most probably installed it from an RPM i.586. I can see its files in
various directories, but one thing I didn't figure out yet is: How do I
start it? Typing bastille in root command line as recommended in a
manual
produces something like command not found...

There seem to be some very basic Linux things that I don't know yet - too

trivial to be mentioned in any FAQ - but I'll find them out anyway! :-))

lord i suffered with this when i started with Bastille...its not intuitive

so don't fret.  At a command prompt type Interative-Bastille (or just
Inter
(then hit the TAB key)) and away you go.  Be sure to get the GUIed ver (TK

or Curses version) its far simpler IMO as well.

HTH :)
