<BODY>Ok, I am trying to understand this firewall program, I am running RH 7.1. I have firewall enabled in linuxconf. I also see ipchains running, is that the same as the firewall in linuxconf? I have looked over the man pages at <A HREF="http://www.linuxdocs.org">www.linuxdocs.org</A> for IPCHaIns and I am even more confused than when I started. I renabled my firewall, and now do not have connectivity between my two linux boxes running nsf. I look under firewall config in linuxconfig, and it shows accept for input, output, and fowarding from one machine to the other, but I still do not have connectivity. I listed the IP chains and I got the following:<br>
<br>
[root@C1652034-d pparks]# /sbin/ipchains -L -n<br>
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):<br>
target prot opt source destination ports<br>
ACCEPT udp ------ 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 67:68 -> 67:68<br>
ACCEPT udp ------ 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 67:68 -> 67:68<br>
ACCEPT all ------ 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 n/a<br>
REJECT tcp -y---- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 * -> 0:1023<br>
REJECT tcp -y---- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 * -> 2049<br>
REJECT udp ------ 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 * -> 0:1023<br>
REJECT udp ------ 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 * -> 2049<br>
REJECT tcp -y---- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 * -> 6000:6009<br>
REJECT tcp -y---- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 * -> 7100<br>
Chain forward (policy ACCEPT):<br>
Chain output (policy ACCEPT):<br>
<br>
So back to my original question, I am assuming that ipchains and firewall are two different services, and that I have the firewall set up properly, but not the ipchains. If this is the case, is there a text file that I need to edit for the ipchains, or do I run everything from the command line? I did a /sbin/ipchains -n Server, to create a rule for the server, but can not figure out how to tell it what I want it to do. Any takers? Thanks.<br>
