RE: iptables causing problem with named? (fixed)

2003-07-16 Thread David Demner
I don't think that's true. The rules are processed in order, so in the DNS case, the line with: -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT would have been used (since it was higher up on the table), iptables would have stopped checking other rules, and the last line wouldn't h

You need to allow both TCP and UDP for DNS to work: -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT David --__--__-- Message: 13 From: "Scott Antonivich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: iptables causing p

Ed, I have a similar setup to yours (f-prot and mailscanner), but I don't use the f-prot-autoupdate program. I use a script at /usr/local/f-prot/check-updates.sh to check for new virus definitions. The checksum program comes with f-prot, so it's probably in a directory the update script can't

I don't think you need to have the ip address in the rules. Here's what I have in a very similar setup as yours and it does the trick: *nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE I'm pretty sure you can just replace the MASQUERADE with SNAT, but no guarantees. *filter -A INPUT -m state

RH used to use dhcpcd to get an IP address through DHCP, and there was a flag for dhcpcd so it didn't replace the resolv.conf, but this doesn't appear to be the case any more. They now use dhclient which doesn't have this flag. Poking around, it looks like the script /sbin/dhclient-script is re
