Hi Folks,
I said at the begining of this thread that it should have been posted in the Unix for Dummies section and as it transpired that was correct.
When we build servers like these there is a process, it is a bit convoluted - but it delivers the desired end result. But that would appear to be when one person works on it.
The problem turned out to be the firewall had been turned back on by one of our offshore people, I had already stopped the service as per the build standard and created all the support users, one of them had - whilst setting up his environment decided to have a look around the server and contrary to what he was supposed to do. He started the firewall because he assumed that the server would need it!
Turning off the firewall resolved the problem, but didn't get me back the missing day!
Many thanks for all the suggestions and assistance on this.
Regards
Gull04

When running a script on a distant server via rsh, what is the $PATH used ?
I had done a script in the /usr/local/bin but the rsh reported it did not find it. So I assume it is using a separate $PATH but how can I find out ? (1 Reply)

arno-iptables-firewall
ARNO-IPTABLES-FIREWALL(8) ARNO-IPTABLES-FIREWALL(8)
NAME
arno-iptables-firewall - Single- & multi-homed firewall script with DSL/ADSL support.
SYNOPSIS
/etc/init.d/arno-iptables-firewall [start|stop|status|force-reload|restart]
DESCRIPTION
arno-iptables-firewall is an iptables configuration script with support for both IPv4 & IPv6. While it is extremely easy to use one can
nevertheless use it in quite complicated environments.
All available options are explained in the extensively documented configuration file.
The external interface of the system needs to be set up properly in the firewalls configuration file (EXT_IF). The default behavior of the
firewall is to deny all incoming connections.
For additional requirements not covered by the configuration file custom iptables rules can be placed in /etc/arno-iptables-firewall/cus-
tom-rules. This file is automatically parsed by the service script.
See the README file (eg. in /usr/(local/)share/doc/arno-iptables-firewall) for an example how to manage logging of firewall events through
syslogd.
The arno-fwfilter script can be used to make the firewall logs more readable for humans (see manpage).
Several plugins for the firewall script are available online. Plugins can be downloaded from http://rocky.eld.leidenuniv.nl/ Please see the
README file for more information.
FILES
/etc/init.d/arno-iptables-firewall system service script
/etc/arno-iptables-firewall/firewall.conf firewall configuration
/etc/arno-iptables-firewall/conf.d/ firewall configuration directory
/etc/arno-iptables-firewall/custom-rules custom iptables rules
/etc/arno-iptables-firewall/blocked-hosts host blacklist
/etc/arno-iptables-firewall/mac-addresses mac filter list
Please note, that the last two files do exist in the initial configuration and their use is disabled in /etc/arno-iptables-firewall/fire-
wall.conf
