Access Problem after update to CentOS 7.1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Everyone,

This morning I did a manual yum update on our a mail server to 7.1
without any incident or problems.  A new kernel was installed, and I
rebooted after the update.  

When I rebooted the machine I could not gain ssh access to it from an
external ip address.  I was able to ssh to this mail server through a
different machine on the local network.  

At first I thought the problem was related to the firewall.  I stopped
firewalld, and fail2ban, and clear all firewall rules without being able
to gain access.

I disabled firewalld, and fail2ban.  I enabled iptables and started it
without a problem, but I could still not gain access.  I removed all
entries in the host.allow and host.deny files, and this did not make a
difference either.  

On one of the various reboots I tried to use the previous kernel before
today's update, but there was no success.

I can scan the mail server and reach it without a problem from the
internal network but I am not able to reach it from outside the local
network.  I have the mail server behind a Centso 5.11 machine that is
the gateway router for the internal network, and the mail server is nat
addressed with it's external ip address to the internal machine.  I have
had this configuration set up for over 7 years.  I tweaked the Gateway
router to nat address the mail server's ip address to a different
machine inside the network and everything worked perfectly like it
should, and then re-adjusted the gateway router again back to the mail
server and am not able to gain access from outside the local network.

"traceroute" does not get to the mail server from outside the local
network, but works fine inside the local network.

Bottom line, this does not look like a host.deny, host.allow problem,
nor does it look like a firewalld or iptables problem.  And it does not
appear to be a problem with the gateway server.  

Is there another feature of CentOs 7.1 that I need to evaluate?  Has
anyone else had this problem after the 7.1 update?

Thank you for your help!!!!

Greg Ennis
