( I've probably irritated the ipfilter list by mistakenly posting this there first) I'd like to see some examples of how to do this: I'm setting up a gentoo linux machine who's sole purpose is to get traffic coming to a NETGEAR router upstream. That router has one of those options they call DMZ where you can give a lan address machine to be sent all traffic that is blocked from the lan. In my case it isn't a true DMZ because it will not route anything to other parts of the lan. It's pupose is to drop but log all the baloney coming at the NETGEAR from the internet. I just want to poke around in the logs of what is coming my way. It will only need to communicate to the internet rarely if at all and then from lynx, or over ssh. It has no X installed, no services like apache, samba, cups, etc etc. Only ssh. And I'd like that to only be open to the lan. I'm confused about which things need to be allowed in and how to handle the rejected stuff, far as logging only possible nasty stuff and not normal dns or other normal traffic. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
