The RELATED did not work on kernel 2.6.5 and iptables 1.2.9. That's why I upgraded the kernel and the iptables. > > > You should post the complete list of your rules > in > > > all of the tables. > > > > > /sbin/iptables -P INPUT DROP > > /sbin/iptables -P FORWARD DROP > > /sbin/iptables -P OUTPUT DROP > > What about the nat/mangle/raw tables? > I do not use NAT. It does not operate as a router. Therefore, no IP forwarding. It's not connected to any office LAN. Access is only thru the eth0. I'm not sure about mangle and raw tables. My intention is to allow access only to the services I offer. Do I have to use mangle and raw tables? Could you kindly write for me a complete iptables firewall allowing access ONLY to the FTP and ssh? I know this is a crazy request. But I can implement it on my server and test. So our test firewall should be able to accept active as well as passive FTP client connections for file upload and download and ssh access for me to manipulate the server.
