Hi, after a two days-long headache I've got that probably I need some help. I've successfully installed and configured Apache on a already working gateway box. I know this can play a little unusual (web and gateway server in the same box) but unfortunately at the moment I just have this hardware at my disposal. However, I have inserted a third nic (eth2) on which the httpd daemon should have listen. And here comes the hard bit; with eth0 and eth1 off and eth2 on Apache does responde. with eth0, eth1 and eth2 on Apache doesn't responde and got in /var/log/messages martian source 101.102.103.115 from 101.102.103.117, on dev eth2 iptables-drop-src-norule: IN=eth0 SRC=101.102.103.117 DST=101.102.103.115 PROTO=TCP SPT=32777 DPT=80 SYN iptables-drop-src-norule: IN=eth0 SRC=101.102.103.117 DST=101.102.103.115 PROTO=TCP SPT=32777 DPT=80 SYN iptables-drop-src-norule: IN=eth0 SRC=101.102.103.117 DST=101.102.103.115 PROTO=TCP SPT=32777 DPT=80 SYN The 101.102.103.117 IP comes from a 2nd machine where I launch the http request. But why the router send http packets to the eth0 inteface, or which interface receives packets from router ? I can't realize it. Some information on box : kernel: 2.4.22 grsecurity: 1.9.12-2.4.22 patch-o-matic: 20030912 iptables: 1.2.8 httpd: 2.0.47 Some information on the net : eth0: gateway eth1: local net eth2: httpd network: 101.102.103.112 broadcast: 101.102.103.119 router: 101.102.103.113 eth0: 101.102.103.114 netmask 255.255.255.248 eth1: 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth2: 101.102.103.115 netmask 255.255.255.255 <-- is this netmask correct ??? This is the routing table with eth0 and eth1 actived and eth2 off: 101.102.103.112 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 101.102.103.114 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 This is the routing table with all interfaces on: 101.102.103.112 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 U 0 0 0 eth2 <-- probably conflict ??? 101.102.103.112 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 101.102.103.114 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Moreover, adding eth2, got in /var/log/messages: martian source 101.102.103.115 from 101.102.103.115, on dev eth0 The firewall seems to me ok. This is all about eth2 how results from iptables-save : -A interface2_in -s 101.102.103.115 -j DROP -A interface2_in -d 101.102.103.115 -p tcp -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -m tcp --sport 1024:65535 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A interface2_in -d 101.102.103.115 -p tcp -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -m tcp --sport 1024:65535 --dport 443 -j ACCEPT -A interface2_out -s 101.102.103.115 -p tcp -m state --state ESTABLISHED -m tcp --sport 80 --dport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT -A interface2_out -s 101.102.103.115 -p tcp -m state --state ESTABLISHED -m tcp --sport 443 --dport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT -A network1_in -s 101.102.103.115 -j DROP Any help will be very appreciated Lucio -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
