Hi hatters
I have a box here running rh6.1 here.
I have a problem with my ipchains configuration on my ppp interface.
I set it up, all fine and dandy. everything works fine.
blocks all incoming traffic except what I want to let through (ie: ssh)
and the network on the inside can talk out to the real world fine, etc...
BUT: after some large period of time (we're talking a few days here),
ipchains decides to treat all packets as though they don't match any of
the rules in my chains. This is only on my pp interface though.
This effectively renders my machine inaccessable from the real world as
though I have done a "ipchains -i ppp -j REJECT". The internal network
also cannot talk to the real world. it's as thought the pp link just dies!
I thought that maybe zeroing the counters might fix it, but to no avail. I
also though maybe a magic "echo 1 > /proc/somefile" but I don't know
which file to do it on.
has anybody got any suggestions? This is kinda frustrating, as I use alot
from work.
Looking forward to ANY suggestion!
Chris.
