Not sure what your problem was, but I have used it several times with no problem. I let smtp (sendmail in and out) as well as selected other ports and all works as advertised. I generated several firewalls for myself (static IP) using this site over the last year or so and one last week for my son's new cable cox@home setup (dhcp) and all work well and as advertised. I did have a little tussle following the installation instructions for my sons dhcp cable connection, but it had nothing to do with the rules that were generated, but instead was problems with the dhcp download script not setting up /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts properly. -Doug Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2000 12:33:33 -0700 From: Hawke To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us Subject: firewalls: was Re: test Reply-To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us Well guys.. the firewall I got from: http://linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/firewall/index.html had some problems.... it seems I could recieve e-mail, but not send. I am currently debugging the script, but in the meantime, I strongly recommend that a thurough debug of any scripts you get from that site should be in order. I am currently running ip[chains with no rules (except those placed in the ruleset by abacus sentry. in the meantime, just a friendly note to let y'all know that the scripts obtained from third parties may not be perfect and that modification may be required (never implicitly trust 3rd party vendors with default products, always peak and tweak to meet your needs).
