RE: RE: applications on gnome don't start.

The problem was with my iptables rules. I used to forget to open the loopback interface for the applications querying the loopback interface. They used to wait on the lo interface. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the help. -Nabil. -Original Message- From: Nabil MALIK / KTEFH -

RE: applications on gnome don't start.

I don't think that this is got some thing to do with the applications. I think there is some thing with the environment. Some of the X applications seem to work in the end, only that they take a long time to start as well as move from one click to the other. They just freeze of 10 minutes. Even wh

It's a bug in 'dpkg-reconfigure snort-mysql' for woody. I installed Sarge and its works in it. Thanks for the help. -Nabil. -Original Message- From: Mike Mestnik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 5:58 PM To: Nabil MALIK / KTEFH - OTAS; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL

applications on gnome don't start.

Hi, I installed Sarge (Debian 3.1 testing) on my machine. It looks very nice. It was a basic install and I selected the Desktop Environment packages only during install. I was able to answer the right questions and gnome started very well. I also made a normal user account. However, when I login

snort logging in mysql on Debian!

Fellows, Can you guide me or point me to some document(s) that would allow me to setup snort/acid on Debian. I am especially interested on running snort and acid (apache/mysql etc) on the same machine. If you have time, here is the problem that I am facing... I am not able to log into mysql. I

RE: iptables rule for sshd

Nothing there as well. I have also configured the sshd_config file so that the sshd binds to *.22 local port when I see it with netstat. The foreign host in netstat is *.*, incase some one among you wonders. The crazy machine lets in when I do ssh from it to itself, but has taken oath not to work

RE: iptables rule for sshd

It's not the firewall. It's the ssh configuration, I think. When I connect using the putty on windows, its logs says connection reset by peer. Some things there with the damn ssh configuration. When I use SSh secure shell from www.ssh.com, it says Connection closed by remote host. Note: This a

RE: iptables rule for sshd

Didar, Well, I don't have any rule for the OUTPUT chain and its Policy is ACCEPT by default. There is nothing in NAT as well. However, I am quite sure that the problem in not with my firewall rules, as when I completely turn it off (/etc/init.d/iptables stop), the ssh client connecting from the i

RE: iptables rule for sshd

Dah.. :-) thanks for the help. You guys are life savers. Also, after adding this it didn't work either. Then I realized that since I was trying to ssh from the same machine, I need another rule for the INPUT chain to ACCEPT every thing from the lo interface. Even though I use >ssh -l It still

iptables rule for sshd

I am running sshd on my Debian machine with iptables. I want it to accept ssh connections from outside. I added this rule and it doesn’t work.   Iptables –A INPUT –p tcp –sport ssh –j ACCEPT   Why do you think its not able to match this rule? When I turn off the firewall, I am able to

RE: Debianised Firewall

That works that's what I was looking for. But I still didn't get the working. dpkg-reconfigure iptables just make the symbolic links to /etc/init.d/iptables. Where does is say to start it. I mean calling /etc/init.d/iptables alone doesn't work and simply puts out the help. Regards, Nabil. -

RE: How to save the iptables rules for booting?

But that would be just like running /etc/init.d/iptables. But what we need is running the command '/etc/init.d/iptables start'. I tried to make a link with the start parameter like >ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables '/etc/rcS.d/S38iptables start' But the above also doesn't run it the way we want it t

How to save the iptables rules for booting?

Fellows,   I know the script /etc/init.d/iptables can be used to save the rules. I made it save in the ‘active’ rule set. But what is the standard way to run ‘/etc/init.d/iptables load active’ at boot time. I manually added a symbolic link to the /etc/rcS.d folder for ‘/etc/init.d/iptable

Ethernet card not working after a clean kernel 2.4 installation of Debian 3.0

Dear Fellows,   When I install Debian with kernel 2.2, the Ethernet card works fine. But when I install Debian with kernel 2.4, I don’t see any sign of lo or eth0 any where. I am new to Linux, and Debian in particular. Please advice. From the top of my head, I think that the kernel module
