I have installed Firestarter, and set it up following some manual (just a simple, baseline setting, nothing fancy). However, after restart I got error message: Starting the Firestarter firewall... failed! and then, later: startpar: service(s) returned failure: firestarter ... failed! Why this happens?
View 4 Replieslast week while I was using ssh to the computer1 inside a NAT as usual, I made another tunnel from the computer1 that I was connecting to, to another computer2 inside that NAT (ssh 192.168.1.130) and after making some changes in computer2 I typed reboot. The computer2 rebooted but the tunnel totally hung and I had to kill it in my laptop. Since that day I haven't been able to ssh to the computer1 as I am used to.

how to configure my firestarter firewall. I have a website which requires the port 1935 to be open. I figured out how to open the port using firestarter. Is there anyway to make the port open only to this website, and not to every other website for security reasons of course.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a bit of an odd network setup, shown in the pic here:I am trying to remote desktop from the XP boxes on the side to the one on the bottom, behind a Debian box/firestarter firewall. Is this possible to do without changing my network (IE wiring/topology) setup? If I had my druthers, I would put the router behind the Linux box, before the XP box, but my work laptop does not allow me to connect in that fashion as I can't change the internet settings.
I am certain the setup is correct on both the Windows clients and host, so it has to be something with my firestarter firewall, or something else I'm completely missing. I have the RDP port opened on firestarter, but whenever I try to connect to the XP box, whether it's by computer name or LAN IP address, it is unable to connect. I had thought about setting up a VPN server on my Debian box, and then VPN'ing to it, and then in turn RDC'ing to my Windows machine. Is this possible? If all else fails, I may just plug the Windows box directly into the router and deal with the lower security or get a second wireless router just for my work pc.
I installed Firestarter firewall on debian Squeeze.Now i note there is a gui available in System->Administration which apparently does not need to be running all the time - its not set up to start on boot.When I boot I notice the boot message has a line saying "Starting Firestarter firewall .... failed"When I am logged in and type "/etc/init.d/firestarter status" as the Firestarter FAQs say, I get"Firestarter is running... ... (warning)"I can run the gui manually and still same message.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just recently installed firestarter to get an idea of iptables editing with a GUI. Firestarter works great and I love it, however when I turn my system on, and my system is booting up the terminal displays a "Failed" message when attempting to start up firestarter. Now I have been doing my homework (reserch) and have read that a user will get this error because firestarter trys to load prior to the network manager starting up. I have also read some other variables that can cause this is if you use network manager and have a password on your user account (which I do have) can cause this issue.
However in most cases from what I have read is even though it gives the user a "Failed" startup message, once the user logs in, and is connected to the internet firestarter will actually load the iptables. I did some tests and from what I understand I can see that this is true because I have allowed access to certain torrent trackers, and denied access to others, and I can see some come online. Does firestarter load iptables once the user logs in? Or once it fails to load, does it not load at all unless you manually open/load the application. If firestarter just modifies iptables, then once I save my listings in firestarter then I really don't need it to start up correct?
I am *finally* getting around to rebuilding my file-sharing computer. I'll be sharing files with both Linux and Windoze machines. It's a home network, so there's nothing fancy needed. I know I have to tweak my smb.conf file until I'm satisfied with the features and security. I'm using SWAT and I'm starting with a bare-bones conf file. It's not secure but I can see the server and selected files/directories from my other Linux box.
My really dumb question is, do I have to reboot both the server and the client machines every time I change the SAMBA configuration? I thought I just had to stop and restart the SAMBA service in the SWAT software - but then the server disappears from my client. It looks like I need to reboot both machines for the client to see the server.
I rebooted my vServer (Debian 8) and it doesn't came back up. Well, I used the rescue console on my server and the server seems to be running fine, except the network was broken. So I tried 'ifconfig' but nothing came up. So I tried to enable my interface with 'ifconfig venet0 up', and now it appears in my ifconfig list

A couple of days ago I asked why my pc changes the wireless card name.It switches between AR9285 ( right) and AR5008 ( wrong). Well, it is not the case. When system identified with AR9285,it loads ath9k and I can connect to the router. When system identifies my card as AR5008, no kernel module is present at all ( lspci -k). The wrong card name occurs only when system rebooted. If I gracefully shut down the system, it always comes up with a right name for the card( AR9285). So, how to force the system identify my card right no matter if I reboot or shut down?

I've an Blade 1500, sparc64 IIIi with 2 hard disks and 2go of RAM. The computer run with debian 7.7.0 and BSD (opensxce) for each hard disks.
1/ When it's run under BSD there are no problems, the uptime are on many hours.
2/ when it's run under debian with XFCE x-window, the uptime is 4 hours 30 minutes and computer reboot automatically !
Into the control panel i've deactivate the hibernation, screensaver and power management ! I want to find the files for manage the time down. I think that the problem is in XFCE window manager.
I've upgraded a server on our LAN from fully functioning Wheezy to Jessie. All seems fine except remote administering using Putty from my windows workstation when issuing reboot from command line, it goes down and reboots but stops at login prompt asking for username and password and does not come back on the LAN network. This server does not normally have a monitor or keyboard so my ability to remote admin this server in effect is disabled.
If I log on, it will come back on the LAN network. I've checked the logs but can't see any errors. Is it in the configuration of Jessie somewhere or perhaps a Grub issue. I have 5 other production Wheezy servers that I intend to update to Jessie once I understand how to deal with this problem.
I'm getting weird behaviour while setting up an mdadm RAID1 array on debian 8.2.
After I set-up the array, lsblk shows:
Code: Select allsimon@debian-server:~$ lsblk

After a reboot, lsblk shows:

[Code] ...
I don't know where the md0p1 and md0p2 partitions are coming from. My /etc/fstab and /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf both have nothing about this in them.
parted shows one partition on md0:
Code: Select allsimon@debian-server:~$ sudo parted /dev/md0 print

Where the md0p1 and md0p2 partitions are coming from?
I'm setting up the array by doing as follows:
Delete existing device (I've done this a few times):
Code: Select allsudo mdadm --stop /dev/md0
sudo mdadm --remove /dev/md0
Zero drives:
Code: Select allsudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1024
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1024
Create partition tables:
Code: Select allsudo parted /dev/sda mklabel gpt
sudo parted /dev/sdb mklabel gpt
Create full-disk partitions:
Code: Select allsudo parted -a optimal /dev/sda mkpart primary '0%' '100%'
sudo parted -a optimal /dev/sdb mkpart primary '0%' '100%'
Set raid flag on partitions:
Code: Select allsudo parted /dev/sda set 1 raid on
sudo parted /dev/sdb set 1 raid on
Create RAID array:
Code: Select allsudo mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[ab]1
Add filesystem (I'm using NTFS, but the problem also happens with ext4)
Code: Select allsudo mkfs.ntfs -f /dev/md0
I've been using various distros of Linux for over 20 years - but I'm stumped.
Was running Mint. But after taking an update a few weeks ago the network stopped working. After a lot of time and effort decided to give up on Mint and switch distros to Debian 8 Jessie.
But after changing the Network settings from default DHCP to my usual IPV4 static 10.net configuration and rebooting the network will not work.
I have several systems on a 10.100.0.0/16 LAN behind another Linux system acting as firewall/gateway.
Now, after about 7 hours of mining the Internet, I still can't get basic networking to work:
- Have tried a few combinations, with and without Network Manager and eth0 in interfaces
- /etc/network/interfaces is configured with a static IP and relevant parameters
- ifconfig shows eth0 and the correct information
- netstat -rn shows the basic default route to the gateway
- have tried with IPV6 enabled and disabled; it is not used on my LAN
The box is a desktop system, ASUS Maximum VI Formula mobo with onboard Ethernet, dual GTX 780 cards. Nothing very weird.
It all LOOKS right, but ping can't get off the box "destination unreachable", and no other system on the LAN can ping it.
I'm amazed a basic static IPV4 network setup completely breaks it. This is my main workstation - a dual-boot system where Windows runs fine - so it's not hardware.
EDIT: This has been solved. See the solution post: [URL]

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently come across a Debian installation page for powerpc: viewtopic.php?t=20481. It got me motivated to fix the Debian I have on my iBook G4. I have a Debian Lenny installed on my iBook G4 -- but I have been having some sort of problem (mostly likely due to hardware) which causes the system to crash. After the latest crash, the clock on iBook has been readjusted. For this reason, I cannot reboot Debian completely.
Every time I turn on the computer it begins the booting process but before I get to my desktop I encounter numerous error messages concerning my clock. After either OK'ing or canceling these error messages, I get to my desktop but the system by then is either frozen or else not working at all. Worse, I can't even turn off the computer since the upper right corner of the desktop is completely blank and I have no menu to turn off or reboot the system.
It took this computer to a local Apple store and they ran many different hardware diagnostic tests on it. They concluded there's "technically" nothing wrong with the computer. But they said although the system has successfully passed all hardware tests, there may still remain some complicated but slight hardware glitch/es which the hardware diagnostics could not pick up.
I am having slight issue with setting up file sharing. I have a windows 7 pc and hp proliant microserver running. I have a raid array which I am using as a share for storing music, pictures etc. When I reboot the debian server I can't connect to the server from the windows 7 PC (I have mapped a network drive) until I go on to the server and restart samba with /etc/init.d/samba restart - then everything works fine. I can ping the server with both ip and hostname but the network drive does not connect - this is straight after a reboot. Is the /etc/init.d/samba restart doing something differently to when the server boots? I have read several posts relating to printer sharing issues which point to samba not starting before cups so I am wondering if samba is starting before some of the relevant networking services.
View 2 Replies View Relatedrunning Debian Squeeze (standard 32bit squeeze Kernels linux-image-2.6.32-5-486 and linux-image-2.6.32-5-686) happily without trouble on a 64bit capable Samsung laptop featuring an Intel T3200 Dualcore processor. However, when I try to boot using the squeeze 64bit kernel (linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64) the system proceeds through a few text lines immediately after Grub, and then performs a warm start.
The text output I get immediately after Grub look similar to the ones I get booting the 486 and 686 kernels, without any indication for the reboot behavior. The rebooting also seems to happen before any entry is written into the boot/system log files (logging is enabled). This behavior also occured when I first tried to prime the machine from the Debian squeeze install CD using the amd64 kernel. I'm generally happy with the 32bit kernels, but I'd like to use the amd64 support to do some Java compatibility testing for 64bit architectures.
The Laptop is a Samsung R510-Aura T3200 Delfina with the following Hardware and Setup (using Grub as boot loader):
- Intel Pentium Dual CPU T3200 @ 2.00GHz (see http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=37160 for details)
- NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS
- 3GB RAM + 1GB reserved for GeForce
- Konfiguration Details:
-- Phoenix Bios
[Code]....
Maybe a strange BIOS-Setting that works with the 32bit kernels but not with the 64bit kernel? I've seen a post on here that indicates someone is running the amd64 kernel on a T3200 successfully, and the chip is definitely 64bit capable, so the reboot behavior is a complete mystery for me
I installed firestarter and then at a later date uninstalled/purged it, both actions via synaptic. I have a very verbose boot, I like to see what's going on, and noticed after the uninstall/purge that I was getting an error zooming up the screen containing firestarter in it. After many restarts I found that a file was left in /etc/network/if-up.d/50firestarter and this file was simply a script trying to restart firestarter. At this point I've commented out the calling line and followed the commented line with exit 0. This removes the error but there's still a link calling the file so, is this a bug or am I missing something? It appears the uninstall/purge wasn't entirely complete.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question about anybody who knows how to use firestarter firewall. I'm trying to get access to a Macromedia flash site that needs port 1935 open. While it is not a big issue to open the port, I want to do it just for the server that needs it. I do not want to open it to everybody else. I wonder if anybody has any idea of how to do this. Normally I just go to www.redhotpawn.com which is a chess playing site. I then pressed on the blitz button to go into a game. But it tells me access denied, and then the site has a warning about what it means. The site that mentions that if this is the case then this port has to be open. I don't have a problem of opening the port for the one site as I trust it. But I don't want the port open for every site. I know I can go into the firewall settings and under policy I click on the allow service port for. I put in the port number, but then I don't want to select all. I want to find out what the IP, host or network that I need to allow. Basically I only want to open the port to the one site.
