Well I have a drive that shows up as uui in /media/demo So I could put a script in there and run it. Given the challenges I've had, can anyone write a script that should work and continue after a reboot? iptables works, but didn't keep after a reboot. ufw is there, but it does not seem to keep the rules. I can save to a file and make it a script if someone can send me what you think will open port 22 and keep it open. Even if there is no SSH server going, I'd like to get this port thing working, so then I can find some SSH thing for this system. Maybe if I had some .deb packages on the drive too, I can get some things installed. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "K0LNY_Glenn" <glenn@ervin.email> To: "Jude DaShiell" <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxx>; "Chime Hart" <chime@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Willem van der Walt" <wvdwalt@xxxxxxxxxx>; "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 26, 2022 5:57 PM Subject: Re: hopefully some help with AntiX Well it seems ufw is there, but it must not be running automatically, but it does not fix the port problem. I did sudo ufw allow ssh it said tcp port allowed or something like that so I checked on the other computer with nmap 100 ports closed So I did sudo ufw restart and the other computer said 999 ports filtered tcp port 22 closed. I've done iptables too, but that does not stay after a reboot. if I do sudo ufw status it shows tcp port 22 allow but it does not stay from a reboot. I've found that the seeingAI "document" is best for accuracy of reading the screen. I do the clear command between commands so seeingAI only reads the new stuff.

That firewall started on boot. Maybe man -k firewall on that system would tell you which firewall is running.
