Gentlemen, I know this question is not standard for here, but I have checked the experts and general forum and there are no references to this. (ping) or snmpd. Also it is critical for some development addons I'm working on.
If someone can answer off this list I would appreciate it. I can't ping anywhere from the server, only workstations. Is this normal, and if so, why? (5.6 by the way) The reason I checked this is because I want to use cacti and check certain connections and the ping functions don't work. Also, for troubleshooting connections in general, ping is a critical tool. I'm not strong in iptables. I've looked at iptables -L and as far as I can tell everything looks fine. The primary reason I first noticed this is because I want to use the snmpd daemon and I cannot do an snmpwalk on the server. I added: ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp spts:snmp:snmp-trap to the rules, but still no dice. I always get "no response from server", but netstsat says that the snmp daemon is listening. Since snmpwalk works fine on my standard 7.3 system (same snmpd setup) I figure it has to be iptables when considered with the ping problem. Any help or suggestions off-forum would be greatly appreciated.
