I'm needing to allow apache2 to make modifications to iptables and tc based on my cgi scripts. How can I allow apache2 to interact with these and only these commands?
Additionally, I want apache to be able to read and write files to a specific folder on the disc; what permissions are required for this also? Currently I am getting this error when calling /sbin/iptables Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch
I have quite a few things running, and walk away from the laptop. When I return and wake up the computer, I have a period of between 10-15 seconds before a password prompt is shown. I would expect the password prompt to come up before I am able to type and do any system commands.
my computer is often very slow, to the point of stalling. I tty'd in and when I ran ps -ef I noticed about 10 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start I dont even want 1 apache running. Any suggestions why these are running, or how to stop it? Well, I can stop it with a sudo killall, but how can I make sure it doesnt happen again?
When I comment out the "allow from" line, I have no access to this server at all, but when "Allow from 127.0.0.1 172.23.120" is activated, I can also access that location from other IP's (I can even access it from the internet).
What I really want is access limited to the IP's in "Allow from" because I don't want anyone accessing our subversion repo's from anywhere else.
eth1 has connection to the net via gateway ..eth0 on the same machine has users on a intranet and needs access to the internet, i need to allow internet connection and prevent packets which logically originate from the internet getting into the intranet
Installing a router, and I need to completely "wipe" iptables (flush I mean) on both computers, and I think I run ufw/gufw on both, so that would need to be uninstalled. The router is very secure, has NAT, etc, etc, and I'd rather setup all that side of things in one point, rather than on each computer.
see many threads / websites about how to configure iptables. They say if you use these rules it will allow http traffic. But they don't work. I like to deny all then allow specific ports open for traffic.So far I tried the script to flush and update my iptables rules, trying to open port 80 and 53 for http and DNS traffic:(I made the script executable, with $ iptables -L -v I can see that the rules are changed after I run the script. )
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS as a VM in Hyper-V, and accessing it via VNC with a machine in the same broadcast domain. I'm using OpenVPN to connect to XeroBank. I have instructions for configuring iptables to permit establishing and using the XeroBank connection, while blocking all other traffic on eth0. I've followed them successfully. I need to also permit the VNC connection, and haven't managed that. FWIW, the VM is at 192.168.111.12::5900 and the workstation is 192.168.111.2.
The attachment to this post lists the recommended contents for each Shorewall file. Which files need changed, and what do I add to each?
I typed this into the command line:sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m time --timestart 12:00:00 --timestop 23:59:59 --days Sat, Sun -j ACCEPTI get this error:iptables v1.4.4: unknown option '--days'How do I do something similar above in which I allow the internet to start at 12 o clock on Saturdays and Sundays
I've recently installed 10.10 server edition, and I must say it was a pleasant suprise, it's just the way I like it. I use it as a squeezebox-server. But I've run into a problem with the firewall. I did a portscan, which told me there are more ports open then I've told UFW to open. Among which port 25 and 119, when I telnet from another PC to those ports, the connection gets accepted, although there is no answer to any commands (as expected, there's no mail server running). Iptables print-outs also don't mention anything about the respective ports or a daemon that could be responsable, and the same applies to "ps -e" or "ps aux".
Iptables seems to be working, when I remove the rules to allow samba to work, I can't reach the shares, and when I insert them again I can reach the shares. "sudo ufw deny from any" as last rule doesn't change anything either (deny incoming is default (although I never issued the command "ufw status verbose" says it is) so it shouldn't, but ports 25 and 119 shouldn't be open either).
Rather than use pfsense, etc I decided to create my own router/proxy etc based on an atom base with 2 nics.Proxy/routing/dns/etc all working fine, I now though want to lockdown the fw rules.ETH1 is the WAN NICETH2 is the LAN NICI'm guessing i want to allow anything out of ETH1, but only allow incoming to ETH1 when its established or related... What about ETH2 though? Any ideas pls? Am used to configuring iptables on single nic, certainly not a router.

can anyone advise the best practice of installing and setting the iptables on U 8.04 LTS? currently iptables is not installed nor as package nor included as kernel module.
I'm wanting to use mac filtering to restrict access to certain machines. I already know that I can just add MACs line by line, but is there a way to specify a list of MACs? That way it would be much simpler to maintain a list of acceptable/unacceptable hosts.
I'm not going to rely only on this list because of spoofing, but it would be nice as another "layer" of protection.
I have tried to configure my iptables to allow only HTTPS connections to the internet. Unfortunately, I didn't get that to work. I configured it like this:
Quote:
iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P OUTPUT DROP iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -t filter -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -t filter -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
[Code]....
Of course I am only trying to access websites via HTTPS Still, I was wondering if HTTPS somehow under the hood requires the HTTP port to be open or if my rules are in some other way wrong.
I am currently trying to best configure my Natty Narwal linux distro. At boot, the system is configured to automatically connect last Wifi network. When I connect to the WIFI however a whole bunch of instructions are loaded in the IPTABLES.
I have been struggling with this for a very long time now. I have installed Fedora Core 9 on my computer. I have set it up as a caching-nameserver and this is working.
Then I wanted to secure my server with iptables, and I have so far made this script:
# Load the connection tracker kernel module modprobe ip_conntrack iptables -F iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P FORWARD DROP
[Code]....
I can reach the dns server with ping. When trying Nslookup it says that it got SERVFAIL from 127.0.0.1 trying next server, and then it times out.
