I have to review when ever I deal with iptables http://www.faqs.org/docs/iptables/index.html http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Netfilter_IPTables_Mini_Howto [has lots of examples] ---------------------------------------------------- http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/ref-guide/s1-iptables-options.html "Blackburn, Marvin" <mblackburn@glenr To aven.com> <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: cc redhat-list-bounc es@xxxxxxxxxx Subject iptables question 03/17/2009 09:32 AM Please respond to General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@redh at.com> I'm trying to get familiar with iptables. I am making some progress, but I'm trying to figure out what these lines mean in /etc/sysconfig/iptables (especially the first 5). This was generated on a rhel5 system using system-config-securitylevel *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0] -A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT COMMIT _____________________________________ "He's no failure.
