hi. ok.. i think i may be getting a bit annoying... but at this point i don't care because i don't know where else to turn. <sob!> anyways.. my problem is that snmp packets are being refused by iptables *even though* i've created three rules to allow that traffic through. the rules i'm using are the following: -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 161 --syn -j ACCEPT -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 161 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 162 -j ACCEPT even with these rules in place snmp traffic still does not make it through (and thus cacti does not graph anything). the only way i can get cacti to graph any from a remote server (local server works fine) is to completely turn off iptables with 'service iptables stop' or to comment the following line: -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp -j REJECT that is obviously the catch-all for UDP. however, am i *not* correctly making a reservation for UDP 161, and 162 in the first three iptables lines i pasted above? where am i going wrong? thanks a bunch! you're the best!! chris. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
