OpenSUSE Network :: Need To Alter Services Files If Ports Open In Firewall?
Jan 11, 2011
I have a question about /etc/services file. If I open ports in firewall, do I need to alter /etc/services file in order for certain apps to work?
kpasswd 464/tcp # kpasswd
kpasswd 464/udp # kpasswd
# Theodore Ts'o <tytso&MIT.EDU>
# 465 is illegal used by eMail Server
smtps 465/tcp # eMail Server
#urd 465/tcp # URL Rendesvous Directory for SSM
igmpv3lite 465/udp # IGMP over UDP for SSM
# Toerless Eckert <eckert&cisco.com>
digital-vrc 466/tcp # digital-vrc
digital-vrc 466/udp # digital-vrc
Above example shows if 465 tcp isn't altered, Postfix MTA fails to listen on 465 tcp port. What if there's a bigger span 3000:7000 TCP/UDP, is there a need to alter each line by hand?

I have a couple of openSUSE 11.2 machines and each is directly connected to the Internet (they are not behind a router, firewall, etc). I want them to be able to communicate without any firewall restrictions, but keep the firewall rules for all other IP addresses. Is this possible? the software package I'm trying to use randomly chooses a port to use in the range of 32768-61000 and I don't feel comfortable having a port range that wide open on both machines.

I'm encountering a strange problem. I need to open and forward all UDP and TCP ports related to VoIPtelephony (5000:32000) in the Suse 11.1 server that's acting as router/firewall in our setup. The ports must redirect to a Asterisk server in the local network. (This server has the IP adress 192.168.0.3)I've opened ports in Yast (Firewall>Ports>Advanced) and putted in some masquerading rulesirewall>Masquerading):0/0,192.168.0.3,tcp,5000:31000,5000:310000/0,192.168.0.3,udp,5000:31000,5000:31000when I do a nmap localhost I get:Starting Nmap 4.75 at 2010-01-08 16:52 CETInteresting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
Not shown: 991 closed ports

how to open firewall ports without using yast. The reason I'm asking is because I'm working on a .sh script for the installation of a couple of programs. Some ports need to be open for the programs to work, I find it really annoying to go to yast and type the ports manually every time. I've looked at /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 but can't seem to find anything, I also know that after the changes I will have to stop start the firewall by running:
SuSEfirewall2 stop
SuSEfirewall2 start

I'm using opensuse 11.3 32bit with LXDE. I have configured an apache tomcat server listening on port 8080. Yast was used to open udp 8080 and tcp 8080 in the firewall by manual entry under the advanced button of 'allowed services' menu.Another system was used to access the tomcat server via a firefox webbrowser. The attempt was unsuccessful. The url used was [URL]. firefox webbrowser keeps showing'connecting ...' until timeout. I'm assuming that inspite of the specified port openings in the firewall, it is somehow ignored. If I were to disable the firewall, then I can access the tomcat server with the firefox webbrowser.

i have two questions and thought that anyone here could have the answers.first things first,i want to make firewall accept a range of ports (say 8000:9000) because im using mpd process manager to make some parallel processing, does anyone know the command that satisfy this?
the second thing is, when i open a range of ports like that, it would put my system at risk if some bad guys somehow identifies this range, is there is anything that solves that matter(i.e. makes the firewall monitor the packet, if its an mpd accept if not drop)

I have just switched over from firestart to gufw.I have set all incoming traffic to deny and all outgoing traffic to allow.I have rules set for incoming traffic, and have only opened 1 port on my system for torrents. My router also only has the same port opened which again is for torrents.I use "Network Tools" which is included on squeeze and do a portscan of 192.168.1.100 and 127.0.0.1 I get all kinds of crazy ports coming back as opened. What is even stranger is if I do a few scans, these ports change, so one port on one scan may come up as open, then it will disappear and a different port may show as open.
Mind you none but the torrent port is forwarded in my router, I have no idea what any of these other ports are, or why they are even showing up.What the heck is going on? I dont think this is normal? Am I at any higher risk for attack?

I am having trouble getting ports to open, on the router that the server is connected to it is set to DMZ, so everything passing through the router should go to the server right? but when I use a port checker none of the ports that I need to be open are. so my question is does ubuntu have a built in firewall that no one told me about? or something that would block me from having the ports open?

I would like to ask today how to open up specific ports in Linux firewall (iptables). Recently I have changed the SSH port in server from 22 to 30022 by typing
Code:
# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Code:
Port 30022
"/etc/ssh/sshd_config" 111L, 3027C
And then for the iptables configuration file:
Code:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables
[code]....
How to configure the iptables properly so that my Windows PC can access the Linux with port 30022?

I'd like to have a port open for some streaming radio stations. However, I don't know if they are UDP or TCP or what "direction" to have them set up (inbound or outbound). I also don't know if they should be set up for "host" or "dynamic". The stations I'm interested in are the 181.fm channels mostly (shoutcast stations). We have a Westell A90 type modem/router from Verizon.

I am trying to understand why when running nmap against a SonicWALL firewall at a remote location, the SonicWall firewall is saying that most of its 65535 ports are open? I know this cant be correct and remember reading about how some of these network appliances are setup this way to thwart off attacks.

I now have a firewall up and running: almost perfectly. When I use nmap and perform the most comprehensive scan I can think of, it cannot detect any wide open ports (unless bittorent is running) and cannot fingerprint the OS. My last 2 questions about my firewall (I am very happy now) are:
It seems as though Firestarter has been "abandoned" by the developers, and that gufw is more current. Does it really matter which firewall I use because don't they all do the same thing? I like firestarters system tray icon a lot. 2nd question is I have two open|filtered ports. Are these still pretty well protected?
It is very pleasing to see that I have no open ports, because if you were an experienced Windows user like I was, you got used to the fact you were going to have open ports no matter what. Linux's builtin firewall completely destroys the expensive and useless scams they call Norton and McAfee. Linux officially rocks now

Within the documentation of example OpenVPN setups there is a setup that shows an OpenVPN Server with two network interfaces. One interfaces is plugged into the public internet network and the second interface is plugged into the private network.
Normally I assume that it would be best to place the OpenVPN system inside the network behind the router and firewall and open only the ports needed on the router to allow access to the OpenVPN system. All other router ports would be closed. This is the first example they show. To see what I am talking about see page(s) 6-7 here -> [URL]
If one were to use the two interface public facing setup, when would that setup best be justified? I guess if you didn't want to open any ports on the router/firewall then this could be justified but then you have to lock down this public system individually instead of having it protected by the network firewall.

I have properly configured my router to open a port for Transmission and Vuze. The OpenSuSE firewall settings are somewhat confusing, however. How do I add a port specifically for the BT protocol? I know it's the firewall causing issues, because when I shut it down, my BT apps roar to life, and die with a whimper when I turn it back on. In Ubuntu, opening a port in the router is automatically configured in the firewall; that is apparently not the case with this distro.
So, when I go to Yast Firewall, I see "allowed services" under the tabs available. When I hit that tab, I see a dropdown menu that contains services such as NetBios Server and Samba Server. Am I choosing one of those available and adding a port to it? Am I adding a custom service via the Advanced settings, and if so, why isn't there a way to label the service so that it shows up under allowed services?

I would like to manage the firewall from the command line or with files VIA puppet, however this peice of software seems pretty complicated compared to the other distributions and generic iptables commands / configurations we push out.

I suspect this is an initial configuration bug. All firewall logs seem to be going to all
three files. That causes a lot of clutter in the log files, and makes it difficult to see whether there are any serious problems being logged.

I have just installed CentOS and it is working fine!I made a masquerade with the document there: I didn't used the script, because right now, I do not completely understand it, and obviously I am not modifying anything by leaving it like that.I was using Mandriva before and I am used to graphical tools My questions are:I add the following lines in my iptables:
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables stop
[root@localhost ~]# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables save

I have an OpenSuSE 11.1 in vmWare ESX and every other boot I can't access any running network services (ssh, webmin, qmail, mysql, ...) from outside. I just need to login, reboot and voila - network services are working.I gradually updated to 11.2 and 11.3 by following the wiki with success but this problem remained. So I reverted to snapshot of 11.1 and now I would like to identify and solve the problem here first.I also looked at /var/log/messages /var/log/boot.msg /var/log/lastlog but can't find anything usefull. I will now compare those files from the working and non-working boot but meanwhile someone already has an idea or experience what could be wrong?

I made an standard CentOS 5.3 installation and I didn't install any AFS (Andrew File System) rpm or did any AFS configuration or any additional rpm, but I was going to use several ports between 7000-7009 and then realised that those ports were being used by afs3-* services as for instance, asf3-kaserver (kerberos authentication, which I didn't installed either). I wish to disable or uninstall those services but I don't know how and didn't find too much information about it. Why are those services appearing there?

I was running NFS in my Fedora. I found that I could not mount exported directory in client machine (Fedora ) with firewall enable in NSF server. Even I tried by clicking out all services in firewall (but not disabling it), it did not work. To make it work, I had to disable firewall. Is there any way to do this without disabling firewall?

I'd like to have an easy way to configure firewall, e.g. eable/disable what mythtv needs, or enable/disable what mediatomb needs. Basically open/close a few tcp and/or udp ports for all interfaces (I have two), or just one of them.
Is there a way to add my own trusted services for the firewall?
Other recommended ways to do that? Or just write a simple shell script?

I want to lock down my server to allow only certain ip addresses and ports in. I was thinking of doing this through the iptables but someone sugguested I used the hosts.allow and deny files to allow who can access the system. What do people suggest? If I"m trying to ensure no ip's can access my system except the ones I want, how would I do this with just the allow and deny files?
